The Edmonton Drag Festival is a celebration of the art of drag performance. It gives drag artists a platform to showcase their talents and offers an opportunity for two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer and diverse communities and their allies to come together and celebrate diversity and inclusion. This year, the Edmonton Drag Festival runs from May 29 to 31 at Sir Winston Churchill Square.
CBC Edmonton will be at the festival on Sunday, May 31, to take part in the cultural pride celebrations from noon to 8 p.m. Come visit the CBC team and win some pride-themed CBC swag. The day starts with an Indigenous celebration hosted by Ella Lamoureux, which will be followed by a cultural showcase hosted by Kween Kong.
Check out the Edmonton Drag Festival website to find information about all their events — including the Queer Talent Showcase on Friday — and a schedule of performers throughout the weekend.
