World of Winter — the largest winter festival in the nation — continues in downtown Grand Rapids, and Saturday, hosted a special, free event at Calder Plaza.
‘Winter’s a DRAG’: Adults, kids celebrate inclusivity at free drag show
It was a drag show like no other called “Winter’s a DRAG,” but it proved quite the opposite.
“All bets are off, honestly. Yeah, there’s no rules. I would just say it’s a lot of fun. It’s good music. You come, you dance – even if you’re good, bad, whatever – who cares? Everybody just kind of accepts that it’s a fun day,” Madison Hoffmann, an attendee, told FOX 17.
Queens from Michigan Drag Brunch sashayed into the spotlight Saturday for people of all ages to enjoy.
FOX 17 “Parents have their kids on their shoulders, which I think is absolutely amazing to get kids so accustomed to it,” Hoffmann added.
“It’s seriously so important for the future generations to understand equality and acceptance. It’s just, it’s so positive and beautiful that the drag queens and what they represent is so near and dear to us, so we just wanted to share that with our little one, too,” James Krueger, another attendee, said.
