Beauty, talent and intelligence are the focal points of the Queen of the Holetown Festival. Conceptualised in 1982 to not only bring a majestic end to the Holetown Festival but to scout and nurture talented young ladies who may not have had another avenue to showcase their talent. Miss Holetown Queens have made their presence felt in Barbados and throughout the World as they have embarked on a journey into Miss Barbados World and Universe which then took them as far away as China. Olivia Harding Miss Barbados Universe 1999, Raquel Wilkinson Miss Barbados World 2003 and Kennifer Marius Miss Barbados World 2004 are some of the Queens who would have graced the International Stage.
