[WEST PALM BEACH, FL] August 5, 2026 — The Miss America Organization is thrilled to announce that musical prodigy Ethan Olaes will perform on the Miss America stage for the fourth consecutive year, continuing a remarkable partnership with Kawai Pianos, the Official Piano of Miss America and the Official Presenting Partner of the Preliminary Talent Awards.

For more than a century, Miss America has celebrated the women who lead, serve, and inspire. This September, another unforgettable chapter will be written in West Palm Beach — and you can own a piece of the history.

An American icon was born on the boardwalk of Atlantic City in 1921.
More than a century later, Miss America continues to set trends, spark national conversations, and empower women to lead with purpose. More than a crown, Miss America is a movement — a platform for women who serve, advocate, and inspire communities across the country.

We are excited to invite girls ages 3–12 and their guest to the Miss America’s Little Sisters Tea Party, a one-of-a-kind experience during Miss America Week.
