The Admirals Club was founded in 1961 to support the Chamber of
Commerce’s Austin Aqua Festival and to promote the City of Austin
as a business and tourism destination. The ten-day event included
boat races, parades and culturally diverse theme nights as well as
the Admirals Club Coronation Ball. In the spirit of Aqua Fest, the
Admirals Club continues its long-standing traditions with a weekend
of festivities including a mother-daughter luncheon, a father-escort
golfing event, a cocktail party celebrating the Admirals Club Court
crowned 50 years ago, and a late-night riverboat cruise to provide the
visiting duchesses and escorts a view of the Austin skyline from Lady Bird
Lake. This weekend culminates with the Fifty-sixth Annual Coronation Ball
which will honor the reigning Austin royalty, our seventeen visiting duchesses, and will
crown the 2018 Austin Queen and her Royal Court to reign for the year ahead.
