Miss Tennessee Volunteer Pageant returning to Jackson in June

JACKSON, Tenn. — The Miss Tennessee Volunteer Pageant will return to Jackson this summer, following a cancellation due to COVID-19 last year.

The pageant is set to begin at the Carl Perkins Civic Center on June 16, with a new Miss Tennessee Volunteer to be crowned on Saturday, June 19, according to pageant organizers.

The announcement comes after the city of Jackson confirmed changes capacity restrictions at city-operated facilities, including the Carl Perkins Civic Center.

Pageant organizers say the competition’s two associated teen pageants, Miss Tennessee Teen Volunteer and Miss Iris Tennessee Teen Volunteer, will also be held on Saturday, June 19.
