West Palm Beach to hold Miss America Pageant

Miss America Pageant makes West Palm Beach its new home

The Miss America Organization has announced that its historic pageant will take place in West Palm Beach this year, running from Aug. 28 through Sept. 6, with events hosted across downtown venues.

The competition will be held at the Kravis Center, the Palm Beach County Convention Center, and the Hilton West Palm Beach. Officials with Discover the Palm Beaches said the annual event is expected to attract thousands of visitors and generate millions of dollars in economic impact for local businesses.

"Having Miss America in West Palm Beach and at the Palm Beach is key, number one. It's a testament that our destination is attracting iconic events like this one," said Milton Segarra, CEO of Discover the Palm Beaches.

Miss America CEO Robin Fleming said the area met all the criteria the organization was looking for in a host city, including its facilities, restaurants, and shopping options.

"You have easy access to shopping, dining, the beaches, numerous cultural events, and of course, the Kravis Center is a world-class theater. And the Palm Beach Convention Center is state-of-the-art," Fleming said.

This year’s event marks the 105th anniversary of the Miss America pageant. For most of its history, the competition was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, before moving to other cities in recent years.

Still not mentioning the $1B taxpayer-funded ballroom? I'm thinking it's just embarrassing to you although you're creative enough with your excuses, I'm willing to bet you can come up with one.

@3:41...you love being annoying. How about a comment on the Miss America Contest.
Proposed Funding: As of May 2026, Republican lawmakers have proposed including \(\$1\) billion in a funding bill for "security adjustments and upgrades" related to the project. "Proposed" is the word of the day.

$13.1M to paint the reflecting pool blue. After he said it would take $1.8M.

For a small government movement who bitches all the time about too much money being spent by the government, you have no problem when your guy is doing it.

MAGA stands for nothing. You do whatever Trump tells you to do no matter if it's against your principles or not.
