Since 1996, the Miss Night in Venice Charity has raised over $1 million for local charities via fundraising by participants in the annual Miss Night in Venice Competition.
This year, seven contestants, ages 15 to 25, will again spend five weeks collecting monetary donations for 13 selected charities. The young lady with the highest total amount will be crowned Miss Night in Venice 2026 during a special ceremony held at the Ocean City Tabernacle on Monday,
July 20.
The winner, along with her court, will ride in the 2026 Night in Venice Boat Parade taking place on Saturday, July 25 and themed: “Stars and Stripes and Christmas Lights.”
In addition to the traditional crowning of Miss Night in Venice, this year the City of Ocean City will sponsor two inaugural pageants: Little Miss Night in Venice and Junior Miss Night in Venice.
