Wigs & Waffles Pride Drag Brunch 2026

About Wigs & Waffles Pride Drag Brunch 2026

Wigs & Waffles 2026 is Cincinnati's big charity drag brunch, returning to Rhinegeist Brewery in Over-the-Rhine on Sunday, June 14, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Now in its 6th year and presented by Queen City Charities, this beloved Pride-season fundraiser pairs a stacked drag show with brunch and bottomless energy, all while raising money for LGBTQ+ causes across the region. The afternoon delivers exactly what the name promises, with waffles, drinks, and a parade of Cincinnati's favorite drag performers working the crowd across Rhinegeist's big industrial taproom. It is equal parts brunch, variety show, and feel-good fundraiser, drawing a lively mix of regulars, birthday groups, and chosen family who come back year after year. Because it is a benefit, your ticket goes further than the mimosas, supporting Queen City Charities' grantmaking for local LGBTQ+ organizations. Rhinegeist is at 1910 Elm Street in the OTR Brewery District, walkable from the northern end of the Cincinnati Bell Connector streetcar and surrounded by Over-the-Rhine's restaurants and bars. This is a ticketed, 21-and-over event, and as a popular annual fundraiser it sells out, so buy in advance and bring a valid ID. Come ready to tip your performers generously, since that is part of the fun and the cause. With its mix of great drag, a packed room, and real community impact, Wigs & Waffles is one of the most rewarding daytime tickets on the Cincinnati Pride 2026 calendar.
