This Leo Party features very special guest stars, CHAD MICHAELS and YARA SOFIA both from RuPaul’s Drag Race. Chad of course was well known prior to RPDR as one of the master Cher illusionists in the world; Chad also went on to win RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars.

Yara Sofia was the Puerto Rican spitfire who won our hearts in Season Three of the show; since then she has been a top drag performer around the world.

Hosting this year will be our own beloved Aleksa Manilla and Roxy Doll with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence-Abbey of St. Joan on hand as well, plus a HUGE bevy of other local talent including:

The Leo Party XII will highlight the critical work Seattle Counseling Service provides through mental health therapy, addiction treatment, case management and social services to Seattle’s lesbian, gay,bisexual, transgender, and queer community since 1969. The event will also spotlight the amazing contributions of Camp Ten Trees through a summer camp week for LGBTQA youth, and for children and youth of LGBTQ and/or non-traditional families, honoring creativity, individual choice, and community living.
