COMING SOON!
Ladies, gents, and fabulous friends, brace yourselves because New Orleans is about to sashay into the spotlight once again for one of the most dazzling events of the year—the Miss Gay Louisiana America pageant! Mark your calendars, set those reminders, and dust off your fiercest outfits because from August 15th to 17th, 2024, the Big Easy will be serving up glitz, glamour, and more sequins than you can shake a feather boa at.
Now, if you’ve never experienced the extravaganza that is Miss Gay Louisiana America, honey, let me tell you, you’ve been missing out! This isn’t just any pageant. Oh no, it’s a legendary celebration of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent that’s been going strong for 33 fabulous years! That’s right—33 years of celebrating the best and brightest in the drag community, and it’s only getting better with age. Kind of like a fine wine, but with more wigs and higher heels.
This year’s competition is set to be one for the books. Contestants from all corners of the Pelican State will descend upon New Orleans, each one more determined than the next to snatch that crown and take their place in the glittering Miss Gay America Hall of Fame. Whether you’re a pageant fanatic or a first-time spectator, this is the event to be at if you want to experience the heart and soul of Louisiana’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community.
