About the Ambassadors of the St. Paul Festival & Heritage Foundation...

Organized in 1960 as a Women’s Division, membership was only open to the wives of Winter Carnival Royalty and volunteers. Their purpose was mainly one of providing hospitality and a feminine touch to Carnival activities. As the years progressed, so did the organization and its focus. The organization’s programming evolved from the simple hosting duties of an event and activity coordination.

Membership is now open to the public, and currently is the only group within the Winter Carnival that does not require membership in past royal family for admittance.

Also, in the early 90’s the name was changed to the Ambassadors of the Saint Paul Winter Carnival and males were welcomed as members. Membership is open to anyone who is enchanted by the tradition and pageantry of the Saint Paul Winter Carnival and we invite you to join.
