Drags queens from across D.C. convened at DuPont Circle to compete in the city’s 30th annual High Heel Race.
Thousands gathered to watch as hundreds of colorfully costumed queens raced each other down 17th Street to raise money for the Historic Dupont Circle Main Streets, an organization to preserve the culture of the Dupont Circle neighborhood.
“It’s like a fun costume show that everyone can be a part of,” Sailor Jupiter, one of the drag queens who participated in the race, said.
