The Miss Bel Air Selection Committee has crowned Tiara Kittelberger as Miss Bel Air 2026 and Evelyn Brush as Miss Bel Air Teen 2026. Both will serve as official representatives during Bel Air's July 4th celebrations and other community events throughout the year. Kittelberger, who holds a bachelor’s degree in mass communications, previously worked as a junior marketing associate and plans to highlight Bel Air’s hidden gems. Brush, a freshman at North Harford High School, is eager to engage with the community and promote her initiative, Balance Beyond Standing. The selection process was notably competitive, with many qualified candidates, and included interviews for both titles for the first time. The two will also compete at the Miss Maryland and Miss Maryland Teen competitions in Hagerstown later this year. The upcoming Independence Day festivities will feature a flag-raising ceremony, various family-friendly activities, and conclude with fireworks at Rockfield Park.
