National Asparagus Festival

The 2023 Asparagus Queen's Pageant & Fundraiser is June 3rd at the West Michigan Research Station. Tickets are a $7 donation at the door with ages 12 & under at $5 and ages 5 & under free. Doors will open at 4pm to allow for an opportunity to socialize with the Queen Candidates. Light Refreshments are sponsored by Dark Water Coffee and Merten's Farmhouse Market LLC. We are thrilled to have our 2018 Asparagus Queen Kendra Larios-Mendez MC the Pageant this year! The pageant will begin at 4:30pm promptly. 

 This fun-filled evening is where we crown the next Asparagus Queen! The newly crowned Queen will

receive a $1,000 scholarship award! The funds can be used towards continuing education

or to make a contribution to a local non-profit approved by the NAF Board of Directors. A special THANK YOU to ALL of our supporters for their generous contributions, especially those that helped initiate the scholarship fund and allowed it to continue since 2016. 

All ticket sale proceeds go towards the Queen Scholarship/Donation Fund.  

*Tickets are available at the door the night of the event.
