Since 2001, drag performers have been crowned in Allentown as King and Queen of Pride. The pride pageant is a celebration of drag as an inherently queer cultural art form and is an opportunity for local drag performers to compete for a title in the community where they live. Current reigning title holders raise funds and volunteer to support pride programs at Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center throughout the year. They also serve on the planning committees for pride programs during their reign.
