Chef Lillian Cumic Crowned Mrs. Honolulu in the 50th Mrs. Hawaii Pageant 2026
50th Mrs. Hawaii Pageant 2026
Dear Friends and Community,
I’m so honored to announce that I will be representing as Mrs. Honolulu in the 2026 Mrs. Hawaii America Pageant, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Mrs. America!
The pageant will take place on Thursday, July 2, 2026, from 6–8 PM at the Blaisdell Center – Pikake Room. The winner will go on to Nationals in Las Vegas this August to represent Hawaii in the prestigious Mrs. America Pageant.
This journey means so much to me because I want to represent the true spirit of Hawaii — our beautiful mix of cultures, compassion, and community. Through my ad pages, I’ll be sharing the story of my life in Hawaii and the things closest to my heart: plant-based living, healthy eating and wellness, animals, and the work I’ve done through my cookbooks and community outreach.
I would truly love your support.
