Pageant Information

Overview

Step into a time machine and bring your favorite era to life! Our “Through the Decades” Pageant invites contestants to choose a decade—whether you're rocking a flapper dress from the 1920s, moonwalking through the '80s, or representing colonial chic from the 1700s. Each contestant will showcase their chosen decade through themed outfits, performances, and fun activities highlighting creativity, personality, and historical flair.

Infants (0–11 months) entering the Baby Photo Contest do not have to follow the theme—but themed photos are absolutely welcome if you're feeling inspired!

This is your moment to shine, express yourself, and celebrate history in style. From powdered wigs to parachute pants, the stage is yours—own your era!
