Miss America celebrates its 98th Anniversary this year, with some groundbreaking changes announced by the Board of Trustees of the Miss America Organization. The Board declared that the 51 women representing their home states and the District of Columbia will no longer be judged on outward physical appearance.
Not sure how that’s going to work but despite the changes and the recent controversy, Miss America is a time-honored tradtion in Atlantic City and a much anticipated event for locals.
Preliminary competitions run September 5–7 from 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. at historic Boardwalk Hall. The Show Us Your Shoes Parade, one of the most beloved Atlantic City traditions, takes place on the famed Atlantic City boardwalkon on Saturday, September 8 from 5:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. The procession starts at New Jersey Avenue and travel down the Boardwalk ending at Albany Avenue—rain or shine.
The Miss America Competition will take place at Boardwalk Hall on Sunday, September 9, 2018, from 9:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m. and airs live on the ABC Television Network.
