Pattie Gonia, the world-renowned environmentalist drag queen, will be in Asheville on Friday, Sept. 26, as part of the “SAVE HER!” tour, a drag show that centers on climate change solutions.

The performance coincides with the Blue Ridge Pride Festival and the first anniversary of Hurricane Helene, celebrating Asheville’s spirit of resilience and inclusivity.

The best part? All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit businesses impacted by Helene through the Always Asheville Fund.
