International Drag Day

Get ready to werk! International Drag Day sashays into the spotlight every July 16th. Dreamed up in 2009 by Adam Steward, this is a flamboyant celebration of drag culture – from its underground beginnings to its powerful mainstream presence. Picture glittering shows and lively debates that unpack drag’s role in LGBTQ+ activism, feminism, and beyond. Today, artistry, history and kaleidoscopic diversity take centre stage.


Why roll out the red carpet? Here’s the tea. Whether you’re part of the drag world or not, today’s all about saluting diversity, creativity, and the art of self-expression. It’s a celebration of drag’s revolutionary roots, especially its fierce stand in the Stonewall riots. Sharing the message is like throwing a confetti of support for drag artists everywhere. A reminder of everyone’s right to strut their stuff, sparkle in their own spotlight, and live their truth – no apologies. Yaaas, Queen!
