Vietnam to host Miss Heritage Global for first time in October

According to the organizers, the 2026 edition marks the first time Vietnam has hosted the Miss Heritage Global pageant, making it the first Asian country to stage the international beauty contest. It will also be the competition’s seventh edition.

The pageant is scheduled to take place from October 2 to 8 in Hue and Da Nang, bringing together contestants from dozens of countries and territories.

The grand final is set for October 7 in Da Nang.

Vo An Nguyen, head of the organizing committee, said the event will feature not only pageant competitions but also a series of cultural, tourism, sports, and community activities in the two host cities.

At the launch event on August 3, the Vietnamese organizing committee introduced its plans for the competition and held an online meeting with Miss Heritage Global’s international leadership and national directors to discuss preparations for this year’s edition.

One of the highlights of the launch event was the unveiling of the official pageant crown, named Aurora World Crown.

The crown was designed to celebrate cultural heritage, foster cross-cultural connections, and promote international exchange.

Miss Heritage Global is an international beauty pageant that honors not only beauty but also knowledge, social responsibility, and a commitment to preserving each country’s cultural heritage.

Throughout the competition, contestants will take part in a series of cultural experiences, destination promotion activities, and community engagement programs in Hue and Da Nang before competing in the grand finale.
