The holiday season is about to get a whole lot more glamorous. A Drag Queen Christmas is celebrating its 11th national tour with a stop in Eugene. Ken Phillips, of Ken Phillips Publicity Group, says the show consists of holiday-themed numbers performed by “nine of the top drag queens in the world,” including three season 17 contestants of RuPaul’s Drag Race: Jewels Sparkles, runner-up; Lexi Love; and Lydia B. Kollins, who was also a season 10 contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. Nina West, Drag Race season 11 contestant, hosts. “All performed with lots of sass and comedic charm and, of course, fabulous costumes,” Phillips says. “Performances are a mixture of lip syncing, live vocals [and] high energy dancing.” This year’s show will mark the second time the national tour has stopped in Eugene, Phillips says. “If the fans are demanding it we do our best to book a show in that city.”
A Drag Queen Christmas is 7:30 pm Thursday, Dec. 4, at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets start at $42.50 and are available at HultCenter.org.

local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
