Here she is — Miss America.

On Madison Avenue that is, not back on the beauty pageant stage.

Cassie Donegan, Miss America 2026, will flip the switch to turn on holiday lights draped over 100 trees on Madison Avenue between East 57th and East 86th streets on Tuesday at 5 p.m., spotlighting the 39th annual Miracle on Madison event scheduled for Dec. 6. The event benefits the Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center pediatric program, and occurs on Madison Avenue, also between 57th and 86th streets.

Donegan, the former Miss New York, was crowned Miss America on Sept. 7. On Tuesday, she will appear on Madison and 63rd Street surrounded by MSK officials, the beloved MSK Caring Canine therapy dogs, and the Madison Avenue holiday carolers. She’s expected to sing a holiday song.
