I firstly would like to thank everyone for your support, love, and encouragement throughout this journey in creating Drag Arena and Drag Arena All-Stars! When I started Drag Arena, I wanted to bring fresh entertainment to Harrisburg and bring the community together to support the local drag community in my area! and give opportunities to newer Kings/Queens and Non-Binary entertainers a chance to showcase their art and be able to grow in their drag/performer careers. Today you will see 7 past winners of Drag Arena from February to June. We will start with the runway as the theme is mythological creatures and then we will see the All Stars showcase their Space-themed production numbers and, in the end, we will find out who will lip-sync for their legacy and become the next Drag Arena All-Star 2023!

I want to first, say THANK YOU to everyone for supporting Drag Arena for this past year. It has been a roller coaster of emotions when it comes to this amazing project that Madam D and I have started. However, I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. Seeing the contestants grow in this beautiful art means so much to me and makes me feel like a proud mama. Drag Arena has been a school for some of these artists and I am glad we created this for everyone who is willing to learn and grow…I also cannot forget about the supporters, when it comes to the audience-WOW- Every time we get to see new faces and hear them saying how much they love this platform, it’s unbelievable and incredibly humbling to me. At the same time, it lights up a fire within me to push harder and go further. I am eternally grateful for this journey.
