Ten years of wigs, padding, makeup, and more continue this weekend at the returning Austin International Drag Festival. Despite taking a funding hit earlier this year thanks to the federal government’s continued attacks on diverse arts orgs, the festival welcomes tons of top-tier talent to their stages including headliners like Mistah Aphrodite, Ricky Rose, Buck Wylde, and May May Graves; featured performers like Dr. Fatty Acid and Dotte Com; oodles of drag-centric vendors slinging their wares like Rose Dynasty; and plenty more fabo names and faces that just don’t fit in my word count limit. Support local, national, and international drag this weekend in the most fun way possible. – James Scott
