“A draaaag queen? I’m the queen of DRAG!” – RuPaul (almost stopping Jimmy Fallon’s heart). If you’re looking for some truly incredible live drag performances, Atlanta is definitely the place to be. With a truly thriving LGBTQ+ scene and community, we’ve got drag for days. So don’t be a drag, check out these amazing drag perfromances in the city! And don’t be stingy… bring those dollar bills, honey!
