Hold On to Your Lashes, Seoul Drag Parade 2024 is Coming for You! 💃🦄✨
Alright, you fabulous creatures! Mark your calendars, because on October 3rd, 2024, the Seoul Drag Parade—or should I say Seoul Dragon Parade (yes, honey, it’s all about that dragon fierceness this year)—is hitting the streets of Haebangchon and Itaewon like never before! This is THE event where we celebrate our beautiful queer culture, slay in our most extravagant drag, and serve identity, ego, and art realness from dusk till dawn. Get ready to bring out your most unapologetically fabulous self, because this year’s parade is going to be bigger, better, and bolder than ever, baby!
What’s the Tea on the Parade? 🍵👑
This isn’t just another party, darling—it’s a movement, a gender minority cultural and human rights event that’s been growing and glowing for six incredible years! That’s right, we’ve been parading our truth since 2018, when our legendary queens Hurricane Kimchi and Ali Vera brought the first Seoul Drag Parade to life. And now, in 2024, it’s evolved into a force for good in the LGBTQ+ community, serving both drag excellence and activism.
The Seoul Dragon Parade celebrates drag, not just as a form of art but as a way to express who we are, loud and proud, honey. Whether you’re a queen, king, non-binary royalty, or just someone looking to express their fabulousness, this event is for you. And baby, as the visibility of queer minorities in Korea keeps rising like a perfectly baked soufflé, the parade has only gotten stronger, sparklier, and more diverse! We’re bringing the dragon spirit this year because you know we’re ready to breathe fire into a society that’s ready to see and feel us. 🐉💖
Indoor, Outdoor, All-Day Extravaganza 🌈✨
Now, darlings, this ain’t just any parade—this is an all-day hybrid festival that’s taking over both indoor and outdoor spaces. Starting at 2PM and going until 10PM, you’ll get a full day of live performances, drag shows, and so much queer joy, you’ll be floating on glitter clouds for days afterward. And honey, it’s all happening in the Haebangchon and Itaewon Unity area, which is basically where all the magic happens anyway! You don’t even have to worry about missing a beat because this year we’ve scaled up the event to give you a feast of diversity, love, and pride.
Whether you’re voguing your way through the streets of Haebangchon, or cozying up in one of the fabulous indoor spaces, the Seoul Drag Parade has got you covered. Rain or shine, baby, the show will go on—and trust, there’s nothing like watching drag queens serve a lewk under an umbrella. Iconic.
Why You Need to Be There 💅💋
Not only is this parade about fierce performances, baby, but it’s also about showing the world that we’re here, we’re queer, and we’re thriving not just surviving! This isn’t just drag for the sake of drag (though, honestly, that would be reason enough); it’s about celebrating the entire spectrum of our community—queens, kings, trans folx, non-binary cuties, and every gorgeous soul under the LGBTQ+ rainbow. 🌈
In a world where human rights are still a fight for many, Seoul Drag Parade is also a statement: We exist. Our culture, our art, our identities are valid and deserving of every spotlight. And honey, don’t you know, drag culture is making waves across Korea. From small drag shows in underground bars to massive stage events, the Seoul Drag Parade has been a trailblazer, giving queens and kings a platform to slay and thrive.
So if you’ve been sitting at home, living vicariously through RuPaul’s Drag Race or YouTube clips, now is your chance to get off your couch and into the action! This is the sixth year of pure, unapologetic drag magic, and trust me, this festival has only gotten juicier with time.
What Can You Expect? 🎉
Oh, honey, the lineup this year is going to have you gagging. Expect performances from the crème de la crème of Korea’s drag scene, including some big surprises that are sure to make you scream “Yaaasss, Queen!” These queens and kings didn’t come to play—they came to slay, serve, and snatch wigs left and right. The diversity of talent at this year’s parade is off the charts, from classic high-glam queens to androgynous darlings pushing the boundaries of drag and art. Whether you’re a hardcore drag stan or a first-timer, you’re going to feel the power, the joy, and the fabulosity of drag.
And it’s not just about performances, darling. There’s going to be a full slate of activities, workshops, art installations, and, of course, plenty of photo ops for you to get that perfect Instagram shot. So put on your most outrageous lewk (think: feathers, sequins, leather, and glitter—more is more, darling) and be ready to soak in all that queer creativity!
Grab Your Tickets (and Merch!) 🎟️🛍️
First things first: you need to get your hands on one of those Seoul Drag Parade 2024 guide leaflets and fans, which started circulating in Haebangchon and Homo Hill last week. Didn’t get one? Don’t even stress, honey! You can snag your free fan and info leaflet at the event itself on October 3rd. After all, what’s a parade without some killer merch to take home as a memento of your sickening day? Trust me, you’re gonna want something to remember this by. 💖🦄
Final Thoughts, Darling 💃
This isn’t just a parade—it’s a movement, a party, and a celebration of our queer community and its allies. Whether you’re a fierce queen, a supportive ally, or just someone who loves drag (and really, who doesn’t?), this is the place to be on October 3rd. The Seoul Dragon Parade 2024 is about to show everyone why drag is not just an art form, but a way of life.
So get ready to slay, darling! I’ll see you on the runway, looking fierce, and living your best life. Until then, stay fabulous, stay fierce, and get ready to breathe fire—dragon style!
Muah! 💋
