Later that evening, Pride After Dark will kick off at the Carl Perkins Civic Center. Doors will open at 6 p.m., and guests can enjoy a DJ, drinks by the Bar-Bees, and a drag show.
This year, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Kylie Sonique Love will headline the show. Love competed on two seasons of the reality competition, taking first place on “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 6.”
