The Return of the Queen: Alaska Headlines
At 3:30 PM, the bayfront belongs to a certified icon. RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars winner Alaska is coming home to headline Pride on the Bay.
Before she took over the global drag scene, Alaska started right here in Erie. Now, she is back to bring her signature comedy, music, and larger-than-life style to the park. It is a rare chance to see an international drag superstar perform right on the water in her hometown. You won't want to miss this set.
