Yellowknife Pride’s Saturday night event – a Sunset Soiree – bravely battled a thunderstorm before its drag show had to be cut short.
The show, which featuring Chelazon Leroux, Tynomi Banks, and other guests, was supposed to run until 12am, but was called off soon after it started at 10:30pm as lightning flashed overhead.
Party-goers attempted to wait out the storm, but in the end organizers decided safety concerns had to take precedence.
Saturday’s event had earlier included drag bingo and a show by Zaki Ibrahim and Wannabe, a Spice Girls tribute band. It was supposed to wrap up at 2am after a two-hour set by DJ Kena Leon.
Here are a few of our favourite photos of people having fun at the event despite the weather.
