Join us and Charlotte Drag in the taproom on May 13th to support RAIN’s AIDS WALK Charlotte with a FREE Community Drag Show, “HOPS & HEELS”!
Charlotte’s drag community continues to show that drag is more than just entertainment—it’s a force for good. As part of the Drag With Purpose initiative, local drag artists are lacing up their boots for HOPS & HEELS, a free community drag show in support of the RAIN AIDS WALK Charlotte.
This is the second free community drag show hosted by Drag With Purpose. The first, held at NoDa Brewing Company, raised over $1,000 for RAIN—proving that when drag and community come together, real change happens.
HOPS & HEELS will take place on Tuesday, May 13 and kick off with a mix and mingle at 6pm followed by showtime at 7pm sharp.
This show is open to the public and free to attend, with donations encouraged throughout the evening to benefit RAIN’s critical work supporting individuals living with HIV.
In an added twist of generosity, Pilot Brewing will donate $1 from every IPA sold during the event directly to RAIN AIDS WALK Charlotte!
The event will be co-hosted by Buff Faye and Erica Chanel, the current Miss Charlotte Pride, with music by DJ Vanna Vanity. The drag show will feature a dynamic lineup of local entertainers including:
• Cierra Nichole
• Ivy Carter
• Giovanni D. Diamond
• Vicki Vanity
• Dahlia Dialup
• Victoria C. VonDahlia
This event leads up to the RAIN AIDS WALK happening on Saturday, May 31 in Uptown Charlotte.
RAIN (Regional AIDS Interfaith Network) has served the Charlotte region for over three decades, providing compassionate care, housing assistance, and vital prevention programs. The AIDS WALK Charlotte is the largest HIV awareness walk in the Carolinas.
