A Queer Pride's Chicago Is A Drag Festival ( CIADF )—being promoted as the first-ever outdoor festival in Chicago that showcases an intersectional look into its drag culture and scene—is slated to take place Friday, June 26, at the Cheetah Gym parking lot, 5238 N. Clark St.
CIADF made its debut in June 2019 in commemoration of 50 years of Chicago Pride and the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.
The 2020 event will continue to expand its mission, featuring 20 political statements and 20 celebrations of cannabis.
Fifty early-bird tickets are available, and there's a $25-per-ticket flash sale until Friday, Jan. 10. Visit Do312.com/chicagoisadrag |
