Cinco de Mayo Drag Show Celebration

Some 162 years ago, Mexico defeated the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5. Today, while often misattributed as Mexican Independence Day – which is in September, btw – Cinco de Mayo makes for a perfect time to celebrate Mexican culture and history. Get in on the action in the gayest way possible with Eva Inez, champ of local drag competition Grackle Games’ third cycle. Her hosting skills have been honed to precision through stints at both Little Drinks Lounge and Oilcan Harry’s by leading queer & trans BIPOC-focused shows. If anyone can lead y’all to party victory, it’s Miss Inez. – James Scott
