About the event
The Power of Drag is a one-night-only celebration that boldly declares drag is for everyone. More than just a spectacle, drag is a political statement—a revolutionary art form that honors bravery, creativity, and authenticity. Eight Elgin-area residents will take the stage for the first time ever, transforming into dazzling drag queens and competing in a fierce lip-sync smackdown for a grand prize. But this evening is about more than competition—it’s a tribute to the rich history of drag and its powerful role in the LGBTQ+ movement. Experience an unforgettable night that celebrates drag as a fearless, creative force of self-expression and liberation.
