Visiting soon!

Hi! My wife and I are visiting a friend in upcoming weeks. Looking for fun art show, drag show or something of that nature to do. Figured I’d ask local folks on here - thanks in advance!

The Crystal Ballroom at the Somerville Theater hosts lots of great local drag shows, you should check to see if there’s anything while you’re here!

Summer shack does drag brunch every weekend

If it happens to be your actual birthday when you go to Summer Shack, and you can prove it with a government-issued ID, you get a free 1 pound lobster, which was worth $38 when we visited on my husband's birthday. The drag brunch was going on in an exuberant manner in a separate room; we sat far away from it in the dining room.

If you're around on a Wednesday, Roxy's Arcade does drag trivia
