2026 Pageant Information

The Miss San Antonio program is one of the oldest and longest-running local programs in the Miss America system, with the first winner crowned in 1923. With the exception of the war years, the title has been awarded consecutively every year.

 

Winning the coveted Miss San Antonio crown offers a unique experience. It provides the titleholder the opportunity to make a difference in the San Antonio area through community service, compete at the Miss Texas Pageant, and participate as an "official" member of the Fiesta Royalty.

 

A successful Miss San Antonio must be fully committed to the title, its history, and its significant appearance schedule. This title is not intended for those who are simply looking to add another crown to their collection or who do not plan to be fully engaged with the responsibilities of the year.

​

Community support is dependent on Miss San Antonio being from the San Antonio region.  Please note that Miss San Antonio is a "closed" pageant, reflecting the deep community pride and the strong desire of our sponsors and partners for a "hometown" representative.
