This year’s headliners include a futuristic funk duo from New York City known as The Illustrious Blacks, and Toronto drag royalty Priyanka, famously known as the first winner of Canada’s Drag Race. The event is hosted by Bombae, who is on the current season of the show.
On social, the organizers are giving away one ticket (including a plus one) to a FREE meet-and-greet with Priyanka, who will be performing some off her new EP, “Taste Test,” at the party.
