Par Carnival and Other District Carnival have deep regional traditions crowning local carnival queens and fairy queens, though historical TV broadcast competitions specific to Westcountry Television or Westward TV generally focused on regional features rather than a direct televised pageant.

Cornish Carnival Traditions

• Par Carnival Royalty: Par has a rich community history of crowning local carnival and fairy queens (with past queens dating back through local archives to the 1950s and 1960s) celebrated with local reunions and annual parades.
• Media Coverage: Regional broadcasters like Westcountry Television (which launched in 1993) frequently documented local Cornish village life, band performances, and summer carnivals, rather than hosting a standalone network competition for the royalty titles.

With the merger of Westcountry Television in to Carlton Television, Par Carnival has continued the event as an individual event, with the original throphy, normally held in November/December each year.
