AFRONTE Pride Drag Extravaganza @ Mascot

ATTENTION EVERYONE!

Gather 'round and listen up because AFRONTE is landing in Helsinki June 29th, fiercer than ever, and ready for its 17th edition! 💃✨ We're here to serve you all the pride, glamour, and empowerment you can handle. 🏳️‍🌈

Now, let's talk about that name, AFRONTE. Derived from the Portuguese word for "affront," we're reclaiming that negativity and turning it into a celebration of drag art and authenticity. 🎨🌟 Because guess what? We're not here to insult or offend but to slay, love, and elevate!

Our LGBTQI+ community faces its share of challenges, but darlings, we refuse to let violence and prejudice dim our shine. 💪✨ We're not the villains of this story; no, we're the heroes, fighting back with every strut, every wig snatch, and every high kick!

And speaking of strutting and kicking, feast your eyes on this lineup, honey! We have the fiercest queens and kings ready to serve you with looks, talent, and attitude that will leave you gagging for more! 👑💋
