Student Julia Balthazar Mazucato was crowned Miss Centenário Birigui on a Saturday night at Parque do Povo in Birigui, in the interior of São Paulo state. The pageant, scheduled for Dec. 10, was part of the city’s 100th anniversary celebrations and was coordinated by producer Daniela Nishikawa.
The crowd packed the park expecting a simple beauty pageant and found a celebration with many attractions. There were fashion shows of swimwear, formal wear and bridal gowns, dance shows, Japanese drums and performances. The artistic acts alternated with the runway segments of the contestants, who were evaluated by the panel of judges.
A native of Birigui, Daniela had been staging the Miss Nikkey and Brazilian Festival in Japan for 10 years and brought that experience to the centennial celebrations of her hometown. The event had the support of the city government and local businesses.
Yasmin Mino, winner of the first Miss Nikkey Japan Alta Paulista, a pageant promoted by Daniela in Tupã, took part as a special guest. Mayor Wilson Borini, accompanied by first lady Geni Albani Borini, also went on stage to greet the audience.
In addition to Miss Centenário, the Parque do Povo stage hosted a concert by the duo Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano.
