After the parade is over and you depart the Come Out With Pride celebrations at Lake Eola, head to Thornton Park mere footsteps away and let your evening take a darker — yet no less festive — turn.

Alt-drag powerhouses Gala of Ghouls and Hellhound Entertainment team up for a ferocious and spine-chilling night of drag, burlesque, local vendors and artisans, and refreshments aplenty.

There are many surprises and jump-scares that are being kept under wraps, but terrifying and glamorous performances are promised by the likes of Kissa Death, Amnesia Effect, EGOT, Sue Cyde and Dr. Victor Von Vector, among so many more. A perfect mix of anger and aesthetics.
