Dublin Pageant Brings Together Cultural Diversity and Drug Prevention

Contestants from several countries gathered in Dublin for a multicultural pageant that combined cultural celebration with an educational message about drug prevention.

Held at the Church of Scientology & Community Centre in Dublin, the gathering featured 24 contestants from seven different nations and an audience of about 450 people.

Organised by Miss & Mrs Cross Continent Events Ltd. and sponsored by Broccoli Care Ltd., the programme was developed in collaboration with The Truth About Drugs Ireland.

Drug education formed an important part of the event, with guided exhibition tours introducing visitors to information about commonly used drugs. Several contestants completed online drug-education courses before the event, with some finishing all fourteen modules.

In his address, Mayor Francis Timmons noted that education and positive leadership can help create healthier and more united communities.

The pageant was accompanied by a diverse cultural programme featuring dancers from several community organisations.

Software engineer Niveditha Vudayagiri received the Miss Cross Continent 2026 title at the conclusion of the programme. The other leading awards drug prevention went to Fortunate Lindokuhle Masina and Yuki Yuliatin.

The gathering connected beauty and cultural pride with leadership, informed choices and community involvement. More information is available in the full report on the Miss & Mrs Cross Continent event in Dublin.
