Drag Queen Race 2008

The DC Drag Queen Race is one of the Washington, DC area's more unique Halloween events. Each year on the Tuesday before Halloween, thousands of spectators flock to Dupont Circle to watch costumed drag queens show off their elaborate outfits and race down 17th Street. The informal block party lasts a few hours and attracts a diverse crowd. Keep in mind this is a very liberal party, so viewer discretion is advised!
