About the Show
The Miss Adams Morgan drag pageant is a live amateur drag competition with nearly four decades of history, hosted by Dupont Social Club at the Washington Hilton.
Contestants compete for the crown through a parade of states and a talent portion, each bringing their own creativity, humor, and personality to the stage.
Throughout the night, the competition is mixed with videos and performances honoring past Miss Adams Morgan winners, connecting today’s contestants to a legacy that’s been entertaining audiences for almost 40 years.
The party theme for the evening, Something Wicked This Way Comes, sets the mood for a lively, slightly spooky night out, while the performances span glamour, comedy, and crowd-pleasing chaos. It’s a show with history, heart, and plenty of reasons to cheer.
