We are excited for a whole new pageants experience in 2026 under new leadership!
Below are the 2026 pageants information. This year, some pageants will be held at McKenna Chapel at Asbury Seminary outside of fair week. There will still be an admission fee for this offsite location and date. Contestants will not be charged admission.
Applications will be done through the Bombyhead pageant management system but those aren’t live yet. We will post a link when it’s available.
If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to contact our new Pageants Directors:
