Drag Extravaganza - Pride Wairau Festival 2026

Drag EXTRAvaganza - presented by Squealing Pig

Get ready for a night of glamour, attitude and unapologetic fabulousness.

Drag EXTRAvaganza brings together 5 of Aotearoa’s most iconic drag performers for a high-energy showcase that promises big performances, stunning looks and a stage that absolutely radiates.

Hosting the night is international drag superstar Anita Wigl’it, known around the world from RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under. Joining her on stage is the incomparable Kita Mean, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under, who will not only deliver a show-stopping performance but also take over the decks to keep the dancefloor moving between sets.

They’ll be joined by an incredible lineup including Kola Gin, Drag King Hugo Grrrl, and crowd favourite Rita Menu, each bringing their own unique flavour of drag, comedy and stage magic.

The night unfolds across two spectacular show rounds, with each performer tearing up the stage before the energy shifts into a DJ set from Kita Mean, turning the room into a full dancefloor party with club classics. After the final performances, the music continues as the queens mingle with the crowd and the night carries on.

With a full stage production at Ūkaipō, flowing bar and a lineup of some of the country’s best drag talent, Drag EXTRAvaganza is set to be one of the most unforgettable nights of Pride Wairau Festival.
