SPLASH! is our drag show fundraiser for the Fort Frances spray park. All proceeds from ticket sales, bar sales, and our penny table at the event will be donated to this important community project in Fort Frances.
The event will take place at the Memorial Sports Centre. Doors open at 7 PM, but VIP ticketholders will get access starting at 6:30 PM for a special meet-and-greet with our drag artists.
The cheapest tickets are available online, in advance, at www.borderlandpride.org/drag. General admission is $20 and VIP tickets are $30. Tickets at the door will be $25.
All advanced ticket holders will be entered into a draw to win 2 tickets to see the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2023/24 (your choice from 3 games), courtesy of our generous sponsor, Molson Coors. VIP ticket holders will get early entry and reserved seating closest to the stage.
Please note that ticket holders MUST bring their ticket and government-issued photo ID for entry. While this event is open to all ages, there may be some mature content.
Please bring cash to tip our drag artists and payment cards to purchase drink tickets and other items at the event.

Join us to celebrate diversity and inclusion for children and youth!
Our hosts Mz. Molly Poppinz and Lady Fantasia LaPremiere will be at the Fort Frances Museum starting at 11 AM for a special edition of Story Time with Drag Queens. These talented drag performers will be reading stories that teach important lessons about kindness, acceptance, and self-love, followed by an art or craft activity.
Drag story time is an opportunity for children to learn about different ways of self-expression and to embrace their individuality. It is also a great way for parents and caregivers to introduce children to the importance of acceptance and inclusivity.
Don't miss out on this unforgettable event! Our drag story time event is sure to be a hit with children and adults alike.
This event is FREE to attend no tickets are required. You’ll find all of the details at www.borderlandpride.org/storytime. Please RSVP to the event on Facebook if you can, and SHARE the event page with your friends!
