Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the vibrant, powerful, and essential history of Black drag in Portland. Now in our fifth year, this event is more than a show—it is a space for cultural joy, community connection, and honoring the legacy of Black artists who have shaped the art form we love today.This curated evening of performance and conversation serves as a historical recovery project, elevating the voices and artistic contributions that emerged from our community’s resilience since enslavement, Emancipation, and into the present. This is an intersectional celebration of Juneteenth and Pride that affirms the truth and talent that has always existed within the Black fabric.
Cohosted by LaWanda Jackson and Poison Waters, this year's event features Maria Peters Lake, Diva Simone Slaughter, Vivian Storm and Kisses Ash!
