Yes, it’s only April 25th and we’re already getting events lining up for Seattle LGBTQ Pride 2018 events. Nark Magazine has already announced (and sold out) their annual Pride Saturday Booze Cruise, various other producers have staked out dates/venues and now QUEER/BAR has announced a THREE DAY festival that’s happening both INSIDE the bar as well as outside, on 11th. Purr Cocktail Lounge, the beloved previous occupier of the space was well known for their Pride Saturday Outdoor Street Party but Queer/Bar is upping the ante by doing a festival on Friday, Saturday AND Sunday of Seattle LGBTQ Pride Weekend.
The press release promises two stages, two dance floors, multiple bars and food vendors AND a VIP lounge in the just remodeled upstairs space at the venue.
They also have a BIG line-up of names to announce as talent including about a thousand RuPaul Drag Race stars including fan favorites Alaska Thunderfuck, Trinity Taylor, and Jade Jolie as well as several of the currently airing Season 10 contestants: Miss Vanjie, The Vixen, Kameron Michaels, Mayhem Miller, Kalorie Karbdashian, and Blair St. Clair.
In addition, they’ve announced some of the DJs to perform: DJ Mikey Pop, DJ Brandon Wilde, Blueyed Soul, DJ Bret Law, DJ Nitty Gritty, DJ Ricki Leigh, and DJ Reece’s Pieces.
