An all-ages drag show is rocketing into Vancouver's space centre this week

An out-of-this-world drag extravaganza is happening this week at Vancouver’s Planetarium, and a bunch of stars are coming to play.

H.R. MacMillan Space Centre’s Rocket & Roll Drag Night is touching down on Thursday, July 13 starting at 6:30 pm.

The after-hours celebration is open to all ages and promises to be a perfect mix of music and astronomy.

“Journey through the early eras of space travel, and explore the technology, triumphs, and tribulations astronauts experienced with the biggest rock hits of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s,” H.R. MacMillan Space Centre writes in the event description.

The festivities will take place under the dome in the Planetarium Star Theatre, which screens a variety of fascinating shows during the day including Forward to the Moon, Our Martian Neighbourhood and Surfing the Solar System.
