WASHINGTON - March 14, 2020 - The Kennedy Center's highest priority is the health and well-being of all the patrons, artists, volunteers, and staff. In conformance with the specific public health recommendations issued by D.C. Health and Mayor Bowser, and due to the increasing threat of COVID-19, all public performances and events scheduled at the Kennedy Center through March 31st will be canceled effective Friday, March 13th. It has been advised to our organization, by the Kennedy Center Director of Booking, that we should move the pageant to a later date.

Being that we take the health and welfare of our team, contestants, families and friends very seriously, we have decided to reschedule the pageant. The pageant will now take place June 6, 2020 at 7pm at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.

Ticket holders for the show on April 4th can now exchange their tickets for the June 6th show. Patrons can contact the Box Office a 202-416-8540, or at BoxOffice-AdvanceSales@Kennedy-Center.org.

In light of this change, we are now accepting new contestant applications from women living within a 25-mile radius of Washington, DC. Applicants for both Miss DC for America and Mrs. DC America 2020 can apply for the pageant until May 1, 2020. We are also extending the deadline for program ads to May 16, 2020. You can buy your ad space and graphics, here.

We thank so much for your patience and we look forward to a great show.
