Never before seen in Margaret River, a fabulous troupe of five from Perth Drag Queens will put on a glittering show at the inaugural Margi Gras.
Sponsored by The River Hotel, Margi Gras is a free event which celebrates equality for everyone.
The first ever event will be on February 10 at the Margaret River Cultural Centre Lawns.
Amazing make-up, bigger-than-life hair and dazzling outfits, Perth Drag Queens Scarlet Adams, Veronica Jean Jones, Katya Kokov, Perri Oxide and Donna Kebab will put on an unforgettable family-friendly performance of hilarious songs, dance and comedy.
The family friendly show will be a warm up to their more risqué show at the Margi Gras After Party at The River Hotel.
“We are very excited to be performing in Margaret River and will be entertaining everyone with a collection of very gay songs, camp costumes and colourful wigs,” Perth Drag Queens Creative Director Scarlet Adams said.

“It’ll be a PG family friendly show at Margi Gras – which is a fantastic initiative by the way. We’re saving our adults only show for the after party!” Scarlet said, with a wink.
The River Hotel will host the Margi Gras After Party from 8pm until late.
The River Hotel Business Partner Phil Thompson said he was thrilled to partner with Margi Gras.
“Margi Gras is a perfect fit for our region and I think it’s something that’s long overdue. It promotes Margaret River as a wedding destination as well as place that treats everyone as equals, and we’re all for that,” Phil said.
The River Hotel is a new offering of an existing venue with a refurbishment that has opened up the space to create a lighter space with a relaxed and family friendly atmosphere.
Tickets to the Margi Gras After Party at The River Hotel go on sale on Thursday 18 January 2018 and are expected to sell fast.
Margi Gras will include music, entertainment, drag queens, cool cars and the region’s first public legally-binding same sex marriage.
