A Glittery Gala!

Pride, Drag, Cinema, and Celebration

Plus, Call To Arms Brewing hosts Tennyson Pride
Saturday, June 15th

Get ready to sashay down the red carpet at the To Wong Foo Festival, hosted by the fabulous Rainbow Cult at the Historic Elitch Theatre! After the blockbuster success of their previous events, Rainbow Cult, the glittering star at the crossroads of drag and cinema, is ecstatic to announce the “To Wong Foo Movie Festival.” This isn’t just a movie night, it’s a cinematic extravaganza bursting with drag performances and immersive experiences.

Plus, mid-afternoon, follow the queens over to the Tennyson Pride Parade! Organized by Call to Arms Brewing, join us for a day of pride and family fun!

The festival starts at 2:00 pm on the Elitch Theatre lawn, heads down Tennyson for the parade at 4:00 pm, and then at 6:00 pm heads back to the theatre for an evening of entertainment.

Schedule:

2:00 to 6:00 pm – To Wong Foo Festival:

• Rainbow Cult will be hosting a FREE festival (all-ages) on the lawn in front of the theatre and extending over to the historic Carousel Shell. There will be vendors, food trucks, and drag acts, plus DJ Buddy Bravo. The festival will also celebrate our friends at Parasol Patrol! These queer soldiers provide a safe, family-friendly atmosphere at community events. Their mission is to shield children and young people, using umbrellas to create a visual barrier from protestors, and offering noise-canceling headphones to protect little ones from loud (and hateful) disturbances.

4:00 to 5:00 pm – Tennyson Street Pride Parade:

• At 4:00 pm we’ll have a contingent of drag queens, queers, and fabulous neighbors, who will head to Tennyson and will join the Tennyson Street Pride Parade! Coordinated by Call to Arms Brewing, there will be a parade of local businesses and breweries in a Tiny Float competition! (Businesses, residents, plus dogs!) The parade will start at Vitamin Cottage and end at Call to Arms.

5:00 to 7:00 pm – Call to Arms After-Party:

• Once at Call to Arms, DJ Jen G will be rocking a post-parade party. (To Wong Foo ticket holders can get a discount on a drink before they head back to the theatre for the show.)
