The Miss California Competition returns to Fresno in 2026 for a special homecoming week at the Saroyan Theatre in downtown Fresno. Taking place June 15–20, 2026, the 2026 Miss California Competition will bring the excitement of live pageantry back to the city that served as the event’s historic home for nearly three decades.

Audiences can experience talented young women from across the state competing for the titles of Miss California and Miss California’s Teen, scholarship support, and the opportunity to represent California at the Miss America Competition later in the year. More than a crown, Miss California is a platform for leadership, service, and scholarship—celebrating contestants’ ambition while spotlighting the causes they champion in their communities.

The Miss California Organization also invites corporate partners and community sponsors to support this premier statewide event. Sponsorships provide meaningful visibility while directly investing in scholarships, leadership development, and local economic impact as contestants, families, volunteers, and visitors travel to the Central Valley for this week-long competition.

Tickets for the 2026 Miss California Competition will be available in spring 2026. Check back for ticket updates and event announcements as they are released. For sponsorship information, visit the Miss California Organization’s official sponsorship page.
