Rendez-vous de la drag is the very first drag culture festival in Québec, in Canada and in all the French-speaking world! Guided by the themes of extravagance and glitter, this event is a unique opportunity to meet more than 75 drag artists from Québec and abroad. Discover the many facets of this colourful world with a program including non-stop stage performances, creative workshops, conferences related to the art of drag and many surprises!
​
Rendez-vous de la drag is like the popular DragCon expos of drag culture in Los Angeles and London, but it differs in its uniquely local approach, making it the only French-flavoured event of its kind in North America.
​
Led by your hostesses Michel Dorion and Rita Baga, you're invited to meet many local and international drag superstar artists. Don't miss a regal weekend of star power you won't soon forget!
