It is an incredible experience, one you will never forget," stated Keri Balnis, Miss Wantgh 2015.

The Miss Wantagh Pageant has been a traditional event in Wantagh that marks the start of the summer season, as has the 4th of July parade. This year however, isn’t just another Miss Wantagh Pageant or just another July 4th Parade, it a celebration of Wantagh. Sixty glorious years of contributions by Wantagh’s own - a milestone no other town has achieved.

So, if you live in Wantagh and are a high school sophomore, junior or senior, committed to the betterment of the Wantagh community, and want to go the extra mile to be involved in community sponsored events by many organizations, meet elected officials from all government levels and be the voice of your peers, we urge you to fill out an application.

Application submission deadline to Ella Stevens, Director of the Miss Wantagh Pageant, is May 27, 2016.

July 4th will be here sooner than you think and Wantagh residents will be lining up on the streets to see not only the parade, but to cheer the young ladies vying for the coveted title of Miss Wantagh as they are driven to Wantagh Elementary School where the crowning of Miss Wantagh for 2016 will be held
