The competition will commemorate 105 years of Miss America and culminate on Sept. 6 with the crowning of the 99th Miss America.
“It feels especially meaningful to announce this powerful next step for Miss America,” said Robin Fleming, CEO of the Miss America Organization. “The Palm Beaches represent vision, momentum, and possibility, a place where women’s voices, ambition, and achievement can take center stage.”
“Welcoming the Miss America Competition to The Palm Beaches is a significant honor for our destination,” said Milton Segarra, CDME, president and CEO of Discover The Palm Beaches, the tourism marketing organization for Palm Beach County. “For more than a century, Miss America has stood as a national platform for leadership and service. Hosting this iconic competition underscores our community’s ability to stage world-class events that bring people together and leave a lasting impact.”
The Palm Beach County Convention Center will serve as the official hub for the competition, welcoming delegates from across the country alongside families, partners, supporters, and fans for more than a week of events, competition, scholarship opportunities, 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.
