A marquee event in Sacramento’s fall cultural calendar, the Miss California International 2026 and Best Business Awards Ceremony & Gala on Nov. 7 blends fashion, entrepreneurship and Slavic heritage into one celebratory evening.
The Center at Twenty Three Hundred will transform into a stage for recognition, artistic expression and community building. The gala honors successful outstanding achievements in business, leadership and community service through the Best Business Awards, while also celebrating the finalists of the Miss California International beauty pageant. Together, these programs elevate diverse voices, promote cross-cultural engagement and inspire the next generation of leaders.
Beyond the traditional pageant format, Miss California International attracts hundreds of attendees — from judges and entrepreneurs to performers and families — who come not only for the glamour, but for the values it represents.
