International Drag Day is a day to celebrate the diverse, vibrant, creative and empowering art of drag.

The International Drag Day was founded by Adam Stewart in 2009 through his fan page for Drag queens on Facebook, with a main objective to provide Drag artists with the space to expose their creativity and culture in a proper way.

The purpose of International Drag Day is to celebrate drag culture and its progress in becoming a mainstream form of entertainment. It is also a day to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and its contributions to drag culture throughout history. The day encourages people to dress up as their favourite drag queen or king and throw parties, watch drag shows, and post pictures of themselves in drag to social media.
