Each year, the Saint Paul Winter Carnival crowns four Wind Princesses to represent the four corners of the King Boreas’ realm: North, East, West and South, and to serve as Legend characters and members of the reigning Royal Family. The Princesses, each accompanied by her Wind Prince, make hundreds of appearances throughout the year with the Royal Family. Requirement for membership in the PPA is based on the individual Princess successfully completing her year's reign with her Royal Family and contributing to the annual membership drive. 

​

Among our activities are Princess Mentorship, the annual Princess Farewell Brunch, Membership Meetings, providing funding for the reigning Princess Parade Costumes, Uniformed Group Council membership, volunteering at the Saint Paul Festival & Heritage Foundation's annual golf tournament, participating in parades.
