King and Queen of the Festival
At least in the U.S., we don't refer to them collectively. We tend to have more queens than kings-and-queens.

(Royal) Court
I've found two references mentioning that Soberanas = Rainhas + Princesas:
http://saojoaquimonline.com.br/2016/01/20/aberta-as-inscrico...
http://portal.revistavisao.com.br/post/23447/abertas-inscric...
At Proms and Homecoming events (the closest I got to "parties"), the queen and princess are members of "court" or "royal court".
Ex.:
http://hhs.pasco.k12.fl.us/prom-court-nominations/
"Prom Court Nominations"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homecoming
"The Homecoming Court is a representative group of students that, in a coeducational institution, consists of a King and Queen, and possibly Prince(s) and Princess(es)."
I hope this is somehow helpful!
