There is still time to be part of the 2026 Mesilla Royal Court!

No entry fee
No expensive gown required
No professional photos required
No fundraising or ticket-selling requirement
Multiple age divisions
Titles will include Junior Princess of Mesilla, Princess of Mesilla, and Queen of Mesilla, and every contestant will be recognized as a member of the 2026 Mesilla Royal Court.
Contestants will also participate in a community-service activity, meet our judges, ride together on the Mesilla Royal Court Float, and be presented to the community during our special Crowning Celebration on the Historic Mesilla Plaza on Saturday, September 12.
NEW APPLICATION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 7

We are the epitome of small town charm at its finest, serving as a great location for afternoon shopping and dining, where award winning cafes and restaurants and unique stores surround the townās focal point of the historic Plaza.
Rich in history, culture and heritage, this little Town is far from quaint. Ā Art galleries, entertaining events, rich history, unique shops and delicious cuisine are just a few staples that Old Mesilla has to offer.
