The sixth annual Bushwig festival of Drag, Music & Love took place between Saturday, September 23rd and Sunday, September 24th at the Knockdown Center in Queens, NY. This year’s all-star line-up included Chicago rapper CupcakKe, Kosovar singer Era Istrefi, (from RuPaul’s Drag Race) Alyssa Edwards, Thorgy Thor and Dida Ritz, plus an incredible variety of local and visiting drag artists and performers.
Founded in 2012 by Horrorchata and Babes Trust, the festival aims to “provide a space to showcase new talent, as well as build a community focused around art and music.” Since its founding, the festival has grown from a one day event in Bushwick, to the massive two-day extravaganza we experienced this weekend, plus satellite locations that include Mexico City.
