February 2 – The Imperial Masquerade, Hamlin House — Buffalo

Whoever said California knows how to party must not’ve been friends with Buffalo’s drag queens.  Their parties put anyone else’s to shame!  Again in 2019, the ICP Masqerade Ball gathered Buffalo’s finest and funnest entertainers and your favorite aerialists dangling from the ceiling.  This year’s decor displayed the theme fire and ice, and both elements lend themselves well to glittery saturation, feathers and drama.  The costumes, drag show, and crowning of the new imperial court always shine like stars!  Hamlin house is rich with historic charm, and the event makes great use of the venue’s delicious food and beverage offerings.
