Grace Towers Presents
♛ The ButchQueen Pageant 2023 ♛
Join us Sunday, November 12th at 6pm for a very special night at The Castro Theatre as we celebrate the resilience of San Francisco, Drag and our communities. The SOARING TWENTIES are here, darling. And while it feels, at times, like the PROHIBITION of Drag is near, the highly anticipated return of The ButchQueen Pageant, after a three year hiatus, will be bigger, stronger and more fabulous than ever!
Put on your high drag and be a part of this magical experience.
