SF’s Brand New “Drag Me Downtown” Summer Pop Ups (June 2023)

Back by popular demand, Drag Me Downtown is returning for its second year! This series of fierce pop-up drag shows will take over a new business in downtown San Francisco every Thursday throughout the month of June 2024. Featuring an exciting lineup of Bay Area drag performers, this sequin studded series supports local businesses while also serving as a fabulous reminder that all are welcome in downtown San Francisco!

Each event features 2-3 fabulous (and free) drag performances

Drag Me Downtown is free to attend, however pre-registered attendees are guaranteed 2024 Pride Swag. Pre-registration is $10. All pre-registration proceeds benefit The Transgender District, the first legally recognized transgender district in the world. Originally named after the first documented uprising of transgender and queer people in United States history, the Compton’s Cafeteria Riots of 1966, the district encompasses 6 blocks in the southeastern Tenderloin and crosses over Market Street to include two blocks of 6th street.
