SUMMARY:The 5th Annual History of Black Drag in Portland - A Juneteenth and Pride Celebration  An Evening of Conversation & Performance
DESCRIPTION:On the evening of Thursday\, June 18\, 2026\, we kickoff Juneteenth by igniting a city-wide Weekend of Black Cultural Joy. Join us for an evening of historical recovery and high-fidelity performance as we celebrate the resilience\, truth\, and talent that have shaped our community from Emancipation to the present.\n\nDoors: 6:30p / Showtime: 7p\nAll ages welcome – children 12 and under are free\nBIPOC & QTBIPOC eligible for community supported ticket – includes admission and meal voucher\nemail info@racetalkspdx.com to RSVP for community supported ticket.\n\nRACE TALKS: Uniting to Break the Chains of Racism\, McMenamins History Department\, Poison Waters and local Black drag queens\, and sponsoring community partners are teaming up for a third year to present The History of Black Drag in Portland\, an intersectional Pride and Juneteenth event that explores the history and contemporary experience of Black drag in Portland\, Oregon. \nThis one-night event features an all-star panel of local drag queens followed by fabulous drag performances. We began this special forum in an effort to hold space for BIPOC folx in Portland during Pride; and close the gap of miseducation and intolerance between our BIPOC and QTBIPOC communities. In our first year\, we emphasized QTBIPOC and BIPOC in-person attendance because there are few Pride events that are centered around Black and brown queer folx in Portland.  Given the positive feedback we received from the past two years\, and the heightened ignorance and attacks on the Black\, Trans\, and Drag communities throughout our country\, we are continuing this annual celebratory event. Join us!
