Don we now our gay apparel at Christmas in July,<\/em> a dazzling drag show brunch extravaganza set for Sunday, July 16, at 2 p.m., at The Hideaway in downtown Asheville. The event, hosted by Asheville Drag Brunch, is an all-ages, family-friendly affair, and all proceeds will be donated to the Western North Carolina AIDS Project\u2019s (WNCAP) Merry & Bright gift program.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cLife can be challenging for kids affected by HIV\/AIDS. Every year, clients approach us with\u00a0tears in their eyes\u00a0explaining that without Merry & Bright, they couldn’t afford presents for their children,\u201d says Christopher Winebrenner, WNCAP\u2019s Community Resource Coordinator.<\/p>\n

Christmas in July<\/em> was initiated by a partnership between Asheville Drag Brunch and former WNCAP employee and drag artist, Natasha Nightly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to be able to participate in this event because Merry & Bright is a service WNCAP provides that truly brings joy to the families it serves. Drag is also a great way to bring joy to people, so this partnership is a no-brainer,\u201d Nightly says.<\/p>\n

Nightly will be joined by Asheville drag artists Divine, Indica, and Nova for the festive show at The Hideaway, an intimate setting that will ensure an up-close and personal experience with the performers. Brunch will be catered by Celine & Company.<\/p>\n

The Hideaway is located at 49 Broadway Avenue in downtown Asheville. Tickets for Christmas in July are $25 and are available at AshevilleDragBrunch.com<\/a>. For more information about WNCAP\u2019s Merry & Bright program, visit WNCAP.org\/Merry-Bright<\/a>.
