Leadville Pride | Wellness Festival & Drag Show

June 7th will be an unforgettable night of performance, pride, and presence at the historic Tabor Opera House in Leadville, Colorado. Set against the backdrop of one of the most iconic landmarks in the Rockies, this free drag show honors the resilience, creativity, and enduring spirit of queer people—throughout history and right here in our own mountain community.

“Queer Through the Years” takes you on a journey across time, Celebrating Queer culture from decades past to the present. This event isn’t just a performance—it’s a statement: Queer people have always existed, and we’ve always belonged in the heart of Colorado’s high country.

Built in 1879, the Tabor Opera House has long been a beacon of culture and expression. Its rich history includes a visit in 1882 from none other than Oscar Wilde, the legendary playwright, wit, and queer icon, who lectured on art and aesthetics during his American tour. Wilde’s presence in Leadville over a century ago reminds us that even in the wild days of the mining boom, queer voices found a stage—and now, they’re taking it back.

Come celebrate, honor our shared history, and witness the fierce beauty of drag in a space where the past meets the unapologetically queer present.

All are welcome. Costumes encouraged.
