International Drag Day
2026-07-16 | IL
International Drag Day is an annual global celebration on July 16th, honoring drag culture, performers (queens, kings, etc.), and their significant contributions to LGBTQ+ history, activism, and artistic expression through fashion, makeup, and performance. Started by Adam Stewart in 2009, the day highlights drag’s evolution from marginalized entertainment to a mainstream force for self-expression, joy, and challenging gender norms, encouraging support for these artists worldwide.
