Miss Joliet PridFest 2026
What an incredible night last night at PrideFest After Dark! The queens left absolutely everything they had out on the floor, and the energy in the theater was through the roof!
Congratulations to our newly crowned Miss Joliet PrideFest 2026, Selena Rivera! 
You shone brightly on stage and truly embody this year’s theme of being “Rooted in Pride.”
We also want to celebrate our incredible runners-up:
1st Runner-Up: Stassi Doll (Bryan Cruz)
2nd Runner-Up: Ari C Blakk (Jabari Harris)
An incredible royal court like this one will definitely be tough to beat next year!
Thank you to all of the amazing performers, judges, volunteers, and everyone in the community who came out to cheer, show love, and make this year’s competition such a success.
