Virginia’s Historic Shoes Cancelled | Virginia Beach News

Miss America’s “Show Us Your Shoes” parade was canceled due to extreme heat, but Virginia’s custom platform heel—celebrating colonial history, enslaved preachers, and the Fife and Drum Corps—still shines. Designed with input from local artists, educators, and even fourth graders, the shoe honors untold stories of the state’s founding.
