Underground Pride

Back for year two, Underground Pride is taking over the Drake Underground.

This is for the culture, for the ones that know the roots. The ballroom kids, the club rats, the drag disruptors. We’re keeping it grassroots, keeping it real, and keeping it cheap.

Thanks to our incredible partners, your entry is only $15 and comes with a $5 vodka bar courtesy of @hvospringwatervodka @redbullcanada @sipsapsucker

Featuring: Artin Avaznia, LEXXICON, Kehiw, Mix Signals and Toussaint.
