Miss America shoe parade to hit the Atlantic City Boardwalk
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Contestants vying for the Miss America title will be showing off some fancy footwear along a New Jersey boardwalk. The traditional “Show Us Your Shoes” parade on Saturday features 52 Miss America hopefuls riding down Atlantic City’s boardwalk in convertibles, each sporting creatively decorated shoes to evoke their home state. The shoes each contestant will wear were unveiled earlier this week. The parade is set to kick off at 5 p.m. The next Miss America will be crowned during Sunday night’s nationally televised finale.
