Get ready for a night of fierce performances, unforgettable entertainment, and giving back!

Food Outreach Presents: The Drag Invitational is a one-of-a-kind lip sync tournament bringing together 12 of the St. Louis region's most talented drag entertainers for an epic battle to be crowned the first-ever Drag Invitational Champion - all while raising critical funds to support Food Outreach's mission of providing medically tailored meals and nutrition services to individuals living with HIV or cancer.

Representing venues and drag communities from across the region, contestants will face off in a bracket-style competition where opponents are randomly matched and songs are revealed live. With every round, the stakes get higher as performers battle for the crown, a cash prize, and ultimate bragging rights.

But the audience doesn't just watch, you help shape the competition!

Throughout the evening you can:

Tip your favorite performer to help them earn the People's Choice Award.

Purchase a Golden Lipstick for a chance to unlock game-changing powers like saving a performer from elimination or choosing the championship song.

Participate in the Queen's Comeback Challenge, where qualifying drink purchases earn Redemption Chips that you can use to vote an eliminated performer back into the competition.

Enjoy raffles, exclusive merchandise, signature cocktails, and more.
