[edit] Daffodil Festival
Every year, Lakes participates in the Pierce County Daffodil Festival. A competition is held in house to select the Lakes Princess, who goes on to compete against other regional schools, for the Daffodil Festival Queen title. The Queen title is considered the highest honor of the regional festival. The Lakes band accompanies the float of Lakes princesses every year in the parde, held annually in April.[citation needed]
