Time: 6:00pm

Pageant Booklet

Each year, the Miss Danish Festival contestants take an active role in supporting the festival and engaging with the Greenville community through our Scholarship Pageant Booklet Ads Campaign. As part of their journey, contestants are required to sell ads for the official pageant booklet—an important fundraiser that also encourages them to meet local business owners, build confidence, and develop valuable communication skills.

By purchasing an ad, you’re not only promoting your business or celebrating a contestant—you’re also investing in the future of these remarkable young women and the legacy of the Danish Festival.

Ad artwork may be emailed to Kristen at information@danishfestival.org.
All ads and payment are due no later than Wednesday, July 31st at 5:00 PM.
Please note: Late submissions will not be accepted, in order to ensure the booklets are professionally revised and printed in time for the Miss Danish Festival Scholarship Pageant on Saturday, August 9th.

Thank you for supporting the Danish Festival and helping our contestants shine!
