This weekend in LGBTQ Alaska (7/29/11): Fairbanks Ducal Ball & Hedwig’s last weekend
This weekend’s big events in Fairbanks are a late morning bar-hopping float down the Chena River and the Fairbanks Ducal Ball at the Blue Loon. In Anchorage, it’s the very last weekend to see Out North’s production of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.” Those events and more, plus a preview of what’s coming up next week.
Dukes, duchesses, queens, & divas in Fairbanks this weekend
The Fairbanks Ducal Ball XIX is on Saturday, and they’re starting the day with a big splash — rafting the Chena River with Queens and Divas! Have fun on the river, enjoy the last great show by Duke Lynnette and Duchess Kara after a fantastic year, and welcome the new Duke and Duchess of Fairbanks.
Fairbanks Pride 2011: Parade, picnic and concert with Summer Osborne
Fairbanks Pride is rockin’ this year! In addition to marching in the Golden Days Parade with a ginormous rainbow Pride flag, PFLAG is bringing up Summer Osborne to perform at both the family friendly Pride Picnic right after the parade and at the Blue Loon that evening. Go, Fairbanks!
Fairbanks Rainbow Prom: Born This Way
The Imperial Court’s Grand Duke and Duchess of Fairbanks would like to invite you to the 2011 Rainbow Prom show and dance…We Were Born This Way!
Your Duke and Duchess, Lynnette and Kara, did a survey at the very first event. We asked everyone to comment in the theme section and an overwhelming request for a prom was given.
We hope you come out in one of the PRIDE colors, or all of them. Be creative, be fun, be daring like Lady GaGa! If wearing a Tux/Prom dress is not your thing, come dressed head to toe in PRIDE colors and we will give you a $5 discount. (Michael will be at the door and he will be expecting a bright Lady GaGa all-OUT type outfit.)
Our host is Empress Paige Pila Boho Langit!
DJ 50/50 is spinning the tunes.
When: Saturday, May 7, from 8pm to 2am. Doors open at 7pm. Show starts promptly at 8, with dancing afterwards.
Sponsored by: The Imperial Court of All Alaska
Where: The Blue Loon, 2999 Parks Hwy Fairbanks, Alaska
How much: $15 cover; $10 if you come dressed for a prom (or in Pride colors!) 21+ only.
Further info: See the Facebook event page.
Note: This is not a youth prom, it’s a prom-themed drag show and dance for 21+ only. However, the Duke and Duchess are planning an all-ages step down show on July 30. Put it on your calendar.
