The Florida Firecracker Pageants are a non-contractual branch of the Miss Southern Florida Scholarship Pageants. Held annually on the 4th of July, this pageant is a celebration of patriotism, where each contestant has the opportunity to proudly showcase her love for our country while building her platform as a queen. Beyond the stage, the Florida Firecracker Pageants encourage young women to make a difference in their communities and shine as role models of service, leadership, and pride.
