We will start the celebration with a special storytime and some theatric numbers for kids led by amazing drag artists Carrie Oki Doki and Count Caligula von Cupid who will help us celebrate self-love and diversity together with the community.
After the storytime, we will dedicate some time to community care where everyone will have a chance to get to know each other and enjoy pride with their neighbours! Snacks and beverages will be provided.
About the Artists:
Carrie Oki Doki':
Immigrating into your heart, Carrie Oki Doki is a bright cartoon character from the unceded (stolen) land that Vancouver is built on. Named after the joy one feels while singing karaoke, music, art, and queerness make everything oki doki! Carrie’s performances always center joy. From outfits inspired by everyday objects and foods that bring them joy to performing whatever brings joy to her. Her drag is there to put a smile on people’s faces.
Count Caligula von Cupid's:
The Valentinian vampire king of so-called Vancouver’s vibrant drag scene, Count Caligula von Cupid is a proudly trans non-binary South Korean diaspora artist and fan of all things spooky - Count from Dracula, Caligula after the infamous mad Roman god-emperor, and Cupid the Greco-Roman deity of love. Their performance style blends sentimental longing with high-octane industrial metal, strung together with a whimsical sense of humour and fantastical approach to life.
