Macon Pride drag queen performance leaves crowd screaming for more
Macon Pride held seven events last week to celebrate unity and visibility among the LGBT+ community and its allies.
On Friday night, the organization hosted a party at the Hargray Capitol Theatre that had the crowd screaming with excitement over the performances of well-known drag queens.
The event featured Lala Ri, a drag queen based in Atlanta, who was a contestant on Season 13 of Ru Paul’s Drag Race. She placed 10th and was voted Miss Congeniality by the other contestants.
The Tribe, a local drag queen group, performed and hosted the event, and they did not disappoint. Members of The Tribe performed at several other events for Macon Pride this year including at the main festival on Saturday.
Here are photos from the evening of drag at the Hargray Capitol Theatre.
