International Drag Day

International Drag Day was launched in 2009 with the aim of celebrating drag culture and drag performers and drawing attention to them and their work.

Drag is, in the widest sense, a performance of gender and physicality. For some, drag is inherently political, for others it is a visual performative art form.

In an interview with Guidetogay.com, initiator Adam Stewart explained:

International Drag Day is a day where all around the world on every gay scene we take this opportunity to celebrate and thank the drag artists that add so much to gay life and culture. This is the reason I launched this concept. I saw that there was no such day or event on an international platform in which we celebrated drag artists. („International Drag Day“)

After International Drag Day had been well received for a few years and international events had been planned and held, there was a temporary lull (from around 2017 onwards), partly because the founder of the day had retired (Becker 2018). Fortunately, things are looking different again now: the websites are active again. In 2020, the official account for the day posted:

We know in these difficult times that drag, more than ever, has been such an uplifting way to escape the world and remember that we are all connected. Through online drag shows, cooking classes and live streams to seminars, campaigning and activism. (Dragday 2020)

With International Drag Day, fans, supporters and drag performers want to draw attention to why drag is important and how drag influences cultures. More information about drag can be found in the entry in the queer feminist glossary #klargestellt and in the compilation of the "Butler Butch Beyoncé's talk" on the subject.
