Miss America is moving!
From the Miss America Organization: The Miss America Organization is proud to announce that the upcoming Miss America Competition will take place August 28–September 6, 2026, in West Palm Beach, Florida, in The Palm Beaches — known as “America’s First Resort Destination®” — with key events hosted at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, and the Hilton West Palm Beach.
The announcement marks a defining moment in the New Era of Miss America, aligning one of the nation’s most enduring platforms for women with a destination recognized for its visionary growth and cultural influence. The iconic competition will commemorate 105 years of Miss America and culminate on the evening of September 6th in the crowning of the 99th woman to wear the crown, as the new Miss America!
West Palm Beach’s selection as host city signals a bold new chapter for the organization. As a global destination for arts, culture, and world-class events, The Palm Beaches provide a powerful backdrop for the future of Miss America.
The Palm Beach County Convention Center will serve as the official competition hub, welcoming delegates from across the country alongside families, partners, supporters, and fans for more than a week of events, competition, scholarship, and celebrations. Preliminary competition programming and the Miss America’s Teen final competition will be held at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts—providing a world-class setting for one of the nation’s most iconic traditions.
