The Little Miss and Mister Italian Fest pageant will be held one week before Italian Fest on Saturday, Sept. 13. Each year, the pageant is open to boys and girls from the Metro East who will be 4 to 8 years-old on the pageant date.
The Little Miss/Mister pageant is offered as a fun alternative to “beauty” pageants. Contestants recite fun facts about the Italian Fest to the audience, and are judged not just on appearance, but on personality and performance.
Five “Miss” finalists and five “Mister” finalists will be chosen. One girl and boy will be chosen as Little Miss and Little Mister Italian Fest and awarded a crown, sash and trophy. They will later participate in the Italian Fest parade on Saturday, Sept. 20.
Registration packets are available online at italianfest.net. The registration deadline is Sept. 1.
