Aquatennial Commodore’s Award


Each year, the Red Wing Royal Ambassador Organization Committee selects one or more persons to receive the Minneapolis Aquatennial Commodore’s Award.

This award is given to individuals who have shown great volunteerism to the community, River City Days or the Red Wing Royal Ambassador Organization. Representatives of the Minneapolis Aquatennial Festival present the award at the Red Wing Royal Ambassador coronation.
