The 30 contestants traveled to Delmas to begin pre-pageant activities on 24 November 2006 before embarking on their overseas trip to Barraco on 27 November. While in Barraco, the delegates participated in a variety of photoshoots and events, while they additionally sat for the general knowledge exam, a 40-question exam that tests the delegates on various topics such as current events, politics, history, pop culture, and Maronan language and literature.

## Pageant

### Format

In October 2006, it was announced by the Miss Marone Committee that the theme for this edition would be "The Misses Go the Movies" (Maronan: *Les Miss vont au cinéma*), with competition rounds themed after film.

The competition began with all 30 contestants opening the show in their regional costumes. The 30 contestants were then separated into three groups of ten contestants each, with each group taking part in an initial presentation round. The three presentation rounds were themed after science fiction films, animated films, and musical films, respectively. Afterwards, the 30 contestants participated in the one-piece swimsuit competition, themed after horror films.

After the conclusion of the one-piece swimsuit competition, the Top 12 was announced, and each gave their introductory speeches while wearing their ball gowns. This was followed by the two-piece swimsuit round, inspired by spy films. After the conclusion of the swimsuit round, the Top 5 was announced. Afterwards, the Top 5 presented their evening gowns, in a round themed after romance films, followed by the question and answer round. The Top 5 later participated in a final presentation round themed after Christmas films, before the final results were announced.
