Saturday, May 18th, kicks off with a four-hour drag brunch featuring local performers and a live DJ set, all to be enjoyed while sipping on several expertly crafted cocktails. The Alize Stone cocktail looks dangerously good with passionfruit liquor, cranberry juice, lime, and a healthy dose of vodka. If you’re feeling adventurous, order a Margarita flight and taste the rainbow! Tajin rim, anyone?!

More than just music
