Sun 8/7 @ 5:30PM
Akron Pride is coming up on August 27 (in case you missed Pride in the CLE in June or just want to celebrate again). And to get things going and get people in the mood, they’re hosting the Miss Akron Gay Pride Pageant, a preliminary for the Ohio Gay Pride Pageant, one of the longest running drag pageant in Ohio. It’s been going on since 1998, long before RuPaul made drag familiar to every house with a TV and right-wing politicians decided it was a bigger threat to our kids than poorly funded schools and lack of health care.
Contestants will compete in the categories of Creative Evening/Formal Wear, Onstage Question and Answer, Talent and Presentation at he Akron Civic Theatre’s Knight Stage.
General admission is $15.
