Mister and Miss Gay Arlington Pageant 2016

The Mister and Miss Gay Arlington Pageant: a yearly party celebrating LGBTQ+ culture in the Washington DC area. This pageant has been around a while. It’s a regular on the local scene, pulling in performers and audiences who like the art, the competition, and the community feeling these events bring to the region. Expect to see queens and other performers go for titles, with walks, lip-syncs, and other entertainment all night. It’s one of those long-running traditions, the kind of community-centric fun that really pops off in DC’s queer scene. You’ll see skilled performers, a lot of energy, and the celebratory vibe pageants do so well. DC’s got a lot going on for LGBTQ+ entertainment, and pageants are definitely part of that. If you’re thinking of going, just check local listings for the exact date, time, and where it’s happening, since these things can shift year to year. They’re usually pretty welcoming to visitors, a good time to meet locals and see a real community celebration.
