Every fourth Sunday of the month
At this show, drag performers trade their high heels for roller skates. Drag queens Mama Celeste and Nicki Jizz created this event back in 2021, for people to safely be in community in the early times of COVID. Besides drag, there\u2019s also DJs playing music and a space for people to roller skate. Nikki Jizz has been on \u201cSights + Sounds<\/a>\u201d before and she\u2019s wonderful! The next “Rollin’ with the Homos” event is on Sunday, June 21.<\/p>\n
