The Miss Orange Blossom Pageant has become an integral part of Davie’s cultural identity, embracing the spirit of community and the town’s rich history. A key highlight of the pageant is its inclusivity, open to young contestants ranging from ages 2 to 18 who are either residents of Davie or students attending local schools.

These categories include Tiny Miss (ages 2-4), Little Miss (ages 5-7), Junior Miss (ages 8-10), Miss Junior Teen (ages 11-13), and Miss Teen (ages 14-18).
To compete, interested individuals must complete an application form, available online at www.davie-fl.gov/OBFpageant. The registration period runs through August 28, 2025, and there is a modest $25 participation fee. For those selected, a mandatory rehearsal is scheduled for Thursday, August 28, 2025, at 6 p.m. at the Pine Island Multipurpose Center. This ensures that all contestants are prepared for the pageant, which will be judged based on poise and personality.
Winners of each category will not only take home the coveted title but will also have the opportunity to represent the Town of Davie in various community events throughout the year. Additionally, the pageant’s winners will participate in the Orange Blossom Parade, an annual event that celebrates the vibrant culture and heritage of the town. As a special touch, this year’s winners will receive a Centennial Celebration crown and sash to commemorate the Town of Davie’s 100th anniversary in November 2025.
The Miss Orange Blossom Pageant is more than just a competition; it is a chance for the young people of Davie to showcase their talents, build confidence, and become ambassadors for their community.
