The spotlight will shine brightly on Nevis as it joins regional contenders at the Miss St. Maarten Carnival Caribbean Queen Pageant 2026, set for (today) April 15^th, 2026, at the St. Maarten Carnival Village beginning at 8:00p.m.

The highly anticipated event, hosted by the St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation, will bring together delegates from across the Caribbean, under the theme: “Queens of Sun & Sail,” celebrating culture, elegance, and regional pride.

Representing Nevis is Miss Nevis Renee Davis, who will carry the island’s banner among competitors from Anguilla, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, St. Eustatius, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Trinidad and Tobago, and Barbados.

Renee Davis was crowned last year during the Ms. Culture Queen Pageant as part of activities for Nevis’ 51^st edition of Culturama.

Her participation in the Miss St. Maarten Carnival Caribbean Queen Pageant 2026, places Nevis firmly in the regional spotlight, highlighting the island’s continued contribution to Caribbean pageantry and cultural excellence. The last edition of the pageant saw Ms. Antigua and Barbuda’s Ischikelle Corbin taking the 2024-2025 crown.
