All guests are required to adhere to our elegant pirate lady theme by wearing black leggings, white pirate shirt, black pirate sash, and back shoes/boots (riding or knee-high boots preferred). A Gaucho or Cavalier-style pirate hat is optional. Embellished clothing or shoes are not permitted – leggings should be plain black, shirt should be all white, and sash should be solid black. It is important that you check with your sponsor prior to the parade to ensure that your costume adheres to the requirements.
How will I know where and what time to arrive for the parade?
Prior to the parade, the KAJ Vice President sends a plan of the day to all KAJ members. It is the responsibility of your sponsor to ensure all pertinent information is communicated to you.
