This is a press release from The Clarke Historical Museum:

Drag Me to the Museum

A Fantabulous Evening of Drag at the Clarke Historical Museum!

Saturday, June 27th

6:30-9:00pm

In celebration of Gay Pride Month, join us at the Clarke Historical Museum for an evening of fantabulous and glamorous drag performances by five local drag queens, kings, and monsters!

Learn about Humboldt’s Queer history through mini-exhibits, including a pop-up display in the Emmerson/Victorian Room that will tell the story of drag in the Victorian Era by looking at three drag queens and three drag kings from that time, and a special exhibit on Two-Spirits on loan from the Wiyot Cultural Center. There will also be living histories, photos, and costumes on display, courtesy of our performers.

There will be complimentary snacks and a no-host bar featuring wine (red, white, and sparkling) and plenty of Pink Pony Punch, along with non-alcoholic options. Doors and the bar will open at 6:30.

Our fantastic lineup of performers include:

Komboujia

Glitterous Clitterous

Cocky Muffington

Kill Pop

Mr. Gino

Emcee Val de Flores

Extra special thanks to Queer Humboldt and Olivia Gambino for their support!

Tickets are $30 for members of the Clarke Museum, and $40 for non-members and can be purchased on our website at https://www.clarkemuseum.org/drag or by calling the museum at 707-443-1947. You can also stop by the museum in person to buy tickets—we would love to see you. And for anyone who wants to attend in full drag, you’ll get a special discounted ticket at the door for $30!

As a non-profit organization, all proceeds from the event go straight back into the museum to help us keep the doors open. And if you’re not currently a member, now is a great time to join!

The mission of the Clarke Historical Museum is to celebrate the rich and varied history of Northwestern California by preserving, sharing, and interpreting that history in ways that increase knowledge, enrich the spirit, engage the mind, and stimulate the imagination.
