Bushwig 2024 LGBTQ Drag Festival
By Charlotte Robinson, September 07, 2024
Bushwig is one of the biggest gay drag festivals that takes place September 7th & 8th at The Knockdown Center 52-19 Flushing Avenue in Queens, NYC attracting over 4,000 visitors. The event brings together a gathering of hundreds of drag stars for 2 full days & nights to remember. Dance, be free, make love & rejoice in togetherness with this big beautiful LGBTQ family. Everyone is welcome & visitors to Brooklyn or Queens can expect drag queens everywhere in glittering beards & sidewalk-engulfing hyper-couture dresses, stomping through the city on stilts & in 10″ platform shoes & all manner of chunky heels. Bushwig showcases drag on the fringes with performers who push the boundaries of what a queen can look like or do on stage. It serves as a messier more avant-garde & frequently more thrilling antidote to RuPaul’s polished world. Brooklyn artists Trust & Horrorchata founded their drag festival in 2012 as a smaller scale Wigstock celebrating local talent. Artist Paco May stated, "I am thrilled to bring this installation to Bushwig, a festival that so perfectly aligns with the spirit of my work. The velvet polka dot portraits will hopefully get the crowd gabbing about who is who to bring it all back to the roots in Brooklyn & hopefully touching them a little bit, too.” Since its debut the festival has expanded internationally becoming an annual staple for the drag community. The program features daylong drag performances & DJ sets. It’s been known to highlight rising city queens. Bushwig is serving up two full days of Non-Stop Drag, Live Music, DJs & Dancing spread across 3 different stages & a dance zone with more than 150 performers. Enjoy Shopping, food & drinks, Icons, legends, looks, stunts & shows.
