Austin International Drag Festival

The 2nd annual Austin International Drag Festival is back!  It’s bigger, better and fiercer than ever!  Three days and nights full of Drag showcases, Panels, Workshops, Films, Webcasts/Podcasts and more!

Let’s make history again! 
Austin International Drag Festival is back for its 2nd year and promises to be bigger, better and more streamlined without losing the spirit of family and camaraderie!

During the day, you will visit the Drag Village. Here you will attend panels, workshops, film screenings in the Here TV Drag Film Showcase, live podcasts/webshows, the Drag Market, the Meet & Greet area presented by DragMyCity.com , fabulous food trucks, Floyd’s 99 Glamour Lounge, and a Photography Studio presented by CHA Law Firm featuring celebrity photographers. (Daytime Events are All Ages)

During the night you will be shuttled to downtown Austin to experience the best Drag showcases you have ever seen in five different venues. These stages will all be in a one block radius so you will be able to get from venue to venue quickly. (Showcases at The Sidewinder and Elysium at ages 18+. Showcases at Beerland, Swan Dive, and Barracuda are 21+)

But wait there’s more! There will be a Opening Ceremony/Welcome Party on the first night, a Bye Felicia Breakfast presented by Lifeway Kafir on the final morning, and back by popular demand the Day Drag Showcase presented by 97.5 Pride Radio Austin on the Saturday of the festival! (These events are All Ages!)

There will be no VIP levels this year so everyone will be treated equally and will have the same chance to access all the events (Remember to arrive early to the events you wish to attend to make sure you get in as everything will be on a first come first serve basis.). Buy your passes in advance as there may be very limited entries sold at each venue.
