These last two years have been a drag. And not in a cute way… COVID-19 has kept us from enjoying some of our favorite events, one in particular: RuPaul’s DragCon.
Not to worry Ms. Thang. RuPaul and World of Wonder Productions are proud to announce DragCon LA is back! Returning for its 10th ever in-person conference, this annual event celebrates the artistry and culture of Drag like no other. Attendees can expect three days of performances, panels, exhibitors, Q&As and everyone’s favorite: the chance to meet your favorite drag performers in-person. The convention will take place Friday, May 13th - Sunday, May 15th at the Los Angeles Convention Center, featuring — for the very first time — a full day of programming on Friday. Tickets are on sale now at RuPaulsDragCon.com.
Unleashed LGBTQ is honored to have the opportunity to cover Drag Con LA.

DragCon aims to make its first priority the health and safety of everyone involved. Given how quickly information and safety requirements surrounding COVID-19 are changing, specific COVID guidelines will be determined closer to the event.
“The 2022 LA convention marks the first time ever we will be featuring a full-day of Friday programming for the three-day convention,” says WOW co-founders Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey. “With our last DragCon having been a virtual experience, we are thrilled to be bringing our flagship in-person event back to the community we love so dearly, and rest assured safety will be our top priority!”
