    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Get ready to celebrate Pride in a new and informative way at the Old Town, New Queens drag show, making its grand return to the Britannia Mine Museum in Britannia Beach.

      This event, set inside the historic mine turned educational museum, showcases own local drag performers, who will be lip-syncing to music inspired by the space. Participating artists include Dust Cwaine, Homo Hardware, and Sativa the Diva.

      “We love collaborating with drag artists to bring this event to life,” says Derek Jang, the museum’s Manager of Interpretive Delivery, in a statement. “Every performance number has been chosen to reflect the themes of our summer exhibit, from safety equipment to rescue competitions. The drag performers and the crowds created such amazing energy in our previous events, and we’re working hard behind-the-scenes to make sure this year’s show is the biggest and best one yet.”

      Tickets grant entry to two 45-minute drag shows, alongside access to the museum’s summer exhibit—Rock Solid: Safety in Mines—and permanent exhibits.

      Polish food truck Baba’s House Kitchen will also be onsite serving up perogies and cabbage rolls. Polish food and drag? Slay.
