More than 20 beauties are set to strut their stuff on the ramp on Friday and Saturday at Sunset Arena in the inaugural Miss Sunset pageant. The pageant will run on the sidelines of the Sunset October Beer Festival and will take place at the Fringe Platform, a section of various fun activities of the beer festival off the Main Stage. On Friday, the opening day of the beer festival, the models will clash in the preliminary round of the pageant and selected finalists will contest in the final that takes place on Saturday.

Sunset October Beer Festival organisers said they had collaborated with Size 4 Modelling Agency to bring the pageant that would add fun to the festival.
Size 4 Modelling Agency director Wilbert Rukato said the pageant would bring variety to the beer festival.

“This will be a beer festival with a difference because it will also incorporate modelling. Models are often used to market beer brands and their presence at the festival will tell the story of their profession,” said Rukato.

“People are not used to seeing pageants at beer festivals but this edition will be unique and would show people the beauty that the country has. It will also be an opportunity for the models to market themselves for potential deals with various companies that will exhibit at the beer festival.”

Rukato said more than 20 models will take part in the preliminaries on Friday and 12 contestants will make it to the final to be held on Saturday, the last day of the beer festival.
Packages for winners have not yet been revealed but organisers of the beer festival said they had a big surprise for Miss Sunset queen.

“The pageant will be the first of many other to come in next editions of beer festivals. It will add colour to the festival that will also have many other activities. We promise a surprise for the inaugural queen,” said the organisers.

The two-day beer festival will present various fun activities in addition to music performances that will be on the main stage.
