WHAT IS DRAG STORY HOUR?

It’s just what it sounds like—drag artists using the art of storytelling to read books aloud in libraries, schools, bookstores, and beyond.

Drag Story Hour celebrates imagination, self-expression, and the fluidity of gender at every age. Through glamorous, playful, and proudly queer role models, it creates joyful spaces that reflect the diversity of the world we live in.

These events invite people of all ages to see gender expressed in bold and creative ways—and to imagine a world where everyone is free to be their authentic self.

OUR AFFILIATES

Drag Story Hour events are happening all over the world at libraries, schools, bookstores, museums, summer camps, afterschool programs, and other community spaces!

 

Each affiliate, whether a Storyteller or complete chapter,
