Spaced Out!

Blast off with our 2026 Pride dance party and drag show! Go galactic with a space-themed extravaganza featuring King Molasses, #thenationsking and winner of the inaugural season of King of Drag. Miz Diamond Wigfall, Miso Chic, Hanukah Lewinsky, Samuel Bendix and other local drag artists will keep the party going until midnight.

Enjoy themed refreshments, a cash bar with specialized cocktails and mocktails, music by DJ L’duke and a fantastical immersive photo booth by Salem’s own Courtney B Hall, the Light Witch. The Hometown Queeros (Dick Kayin, Miss Michael, Maxine Harrison, Buster Pants, Peewee Vermin, and Geya Jenda) will be your hosts for the evening!

We’re also grateful to our local LGBTQIA+ community partners NAGLY and the North Shore LGBTQ+ Network.
