The 70th Miss Universe pageant will be held in the seaside town of Eilat in Israel on December 12, 2021, with a scheduled performance from Israeli singer and international star Noa Kirel.
The 70th edition of the awards is the first to be hosted by Israel and is the first pageant to be held in the Middle East since 2000.
Kirel won the MTV Europe Music Awards for best Israeli act every year
since 2017, marking the first time in the competition’s history that a
local singer will participate in the event. At 14 years old, Kirel unveiled her debut single “Medabrim” (“Talking”), which took off as a phenomenon in Israel and paved the way for her eventual superstardom.
The
Port of Eilat was announced as the location of the grand finale on
Wednesday, as the event will be broadcast live to around 600 million
viewers across more than 170 countries. Representatives from 90
countries and 5 continents are expected to participate in the pageant,
which will be hosted by American television presenter Steve Harvey.
In this video from Israel's i24 news, Miss Universe President Paula Shugart explains why Israel was chosen to host this year's pageant.
Enjoy!
