After 12 years the queens of Bushwig are still giving shows at the Knockdown Center. It’s inspiring to see such a colorful event going stronger than ever, it’s honestly such an important platform for the art of drag.

Prior to this year’s festival, one of the founders of Bushwig, Simone Moss, also known as Babes Trust, died suddenly in early August. The other founders commemorated her throughout the weekend, honoring the power she gave to many queens, and the opportunities she had created for the community. Many queens expressed their condolences on social media, and we’d like to also do it here, may she rest in peace. Thank you for your contribution to our community. All of us saw what you did!

Now, please enjoy some of our favorites images from Bushwig 2023 below:
