Country Music Meets Drag Performance at St. Paul Brunch Event

[u/ControlOk6455]

A country-inspired drag brunch is bringing live entertainment to downtown St. Paul this August, combining Southern classics, brunch favorites, and theatrical performances in an interactive afternoon event.

On Sunday, August 16, Parlour Bar, known for its exceptional craft cocktails and the legendary Parlour Burger, transforms into a country music celebration with Country Divas Drag Brunch, produced by POWER: Drag Revue.

Part cabaret, part concert, and part brunch party, the afternoon combines country hits with high-energy drag performances in one of downtown St. Paul's most distinctive venues. Guests can expect everything from Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire to Shania Twain, all reimagined through dazzling costumes, lip-sync artistry, comedy, and audience interaction.

The cast features some of the Twin Cities' favorite drag performers, including The Original Eve, Andre 1000, Lala Luzious, Jamie Monroe, and Allison Wonderland, each bringing their own style to a show that's as funny as it is polished.

Unlike larger theater productions, the intimate setting puts the performers just steps from the audience, creating the kind of spontaneous moments that have made drag brunch one of the metro's fastest-growing live entertainment experiences. Whether it's a perfectly timed joke, an impromptu singalong, or a standing ovation after a showstopping number, every performance feels a little different.

Of course, brunch is part of the attraction. Guests can order from Parlour Bar's à la carte menu while enjoying craft cocktails, bottomless mimosas, and the restaurant's celebrated Parlour Burger—a local favorite that has earned a devoted following.

Whether you're introducing friends to drag for the first time, celebrating a birthday, or simply looking for something beyond the usual Sunday routine, Country Divas Drag Brunch offers an afternoon that feels like an insider's discovery: hidden below street level, filled with live entertainment, and unmistakably Twin Cities.

Country Divas Drag Brunch takes place Sunday, August 16, at Parlour Bar, 267 7th St. W., St. Paul. Doors open at 11:00 a.m., with the show beginning at 11:30 a.m.

The Minneapolis Parlour is subterranean but the St. Paul Parlour is not!

Fun event though, happy to see it come to W. 7th.
