The D.C. mayor will be hosting the 32nd Annual 17th Street High Heel Race on October 30, 2018. Will this year's event be even more fabulous than ever? We shall see!
Join thousands of spectators on the streets of D.C. for the most glamorous high heel race in the nation. Hundreds of drag queens get decked out in their finest outfits to put on a parade, race, and a heck of an after-party. Hosted by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, this year's race also features a pre-party happy hour. This is one of D.C.'s premiere events, and it has been "Crossing the Line Since 1986!"
