PRIDE TORONTO: Drag ON!

Saturday, June 27 at 2:00pm – 11:00pm

Yonge-Dundas Square

2015 marks Pride Toronto’s 35th edition! We’ve worked hard to be recognized as North America’s largest Pride festival. The only way to celebrate turning 35? 35 drag performers, of course! Taking the stage at this year’s marquee signature event, Drag ON!, Queens will show us just how hard they can ‘werk’ it.

On June 27, Queens and Kings will take the Molson Canadian Yonge – Dundas Square Stage, in the heart of the city–Toronto’s own “Times Square”–to perform a non-stop, all-day epic drag event, the largest drag show to ever happen in Canada. Come dressed in drag and join in this first-ever event: get your Drag ON!

Kicking off the afternoon with her electronic house beats, Kitty Glitter returns to Pride Toronto all the way from Sydney, Australia. Joining her will be her many drag brothers and sisters, leading up to headliner Bianca Del Rio as you’ve never seen her before! Winner of last year’s RuPaul’s Drag Race, Bianca Del Rio will take the stage at 7pm to host the evening.

Spare yourself the shade from our Queens and Kings at this must-see see event of Pride 2015! Be sure to check back soon to see our full-line up of 35 Queens!

Please note: Our beverage gardens allow all-ages access, however, ID will be required for alcohol service.
