Meet this year’s Baby Rain Day contestants
Each year, Baby Rain Day contestants are chosen by the public in the following categories: king, queen, prince and princess. Kings and queens are from ages 19 months and one day to 5 years old. Princes and princesses are from one day old to 19 months. Winners in each category are determined by the number of votes received from the public. The contestants’ entries will be displayed at the Special Events Commission booth on Rain Day until 3 p.m.
All Baby Rain Day participants should be present at 6:30 p.m. near the Lower Stage, where the winners will be announced and crowned. The winner of the best-decorated Baby Rain Day will also be announced at that time.
