It’s International Drag Day!

Today is International Drag Day, a time to stop and appreciate the artistry of drag performers and the role they play in our communities.

The day was created in 2009 by Adam Stewart, a time to shine a brighter spotlight on drag performers international and local.

To celebrate International Drag Day we’ve dived into the archives to share some of our favourite photos of local drag artists from years gone by.

Extra points if you name every drag queen captured.
