There’s nothing quite like watching RuPaul’s Drag Race with a room full of people who live for every runway, every lip sync, and every iconic Ru quote. At Anthem Orlando, our weekly Drag Race viewing parties have become one of the most beloved traditions in Orlando’s LGBTQ+ community — and everyone is welcome.
What to Expect
Every week during the Drag Race season, Anthem transforms into the ultimate viewing experience. New episodes air on our big screens with full sound, and the energy in the room is electric. You’ll hear cheers for stunning reveals, gasps at unexpected eliminations, and the kind of spirited commentary that makes watching with a crowd so much more fun than streaming alone on your couch.
The atmosphere is inclusive and welcoming — whether you’ve been watching since Season 1 or you’re just getting into the show, you’ll feel right at home. Come early, grab a drink, find your crew, and get ready for a night of drag excellence.
Season 18: A Special Season for Orlando
This season’s viewing parties have been extra special because Orlando’s own Myki Meeks is competing on Season 18 — and she’s heading to the finale on April 17 with a record-breaking four challenge wins. Watching Myki slay week after week with a crowd of hometown fans has been one of the most exciting experiences in recent Anthem history. The finale viewing party is going to be absolutely unforgettable.
Orlando Loves Drag Race
Orlando has a deep connection to Drag Race. Ginger Minj won All Stars Season 10 in 2025, and Myki Meeks is now making her own mark on Season 18. Add in the countless queens from across Florida who’ve graced the show, and it’s clear that this region is a powerhouse of drag talent. Our viewing parties celebrate all of it — the art, the competition, the drama, and the community.
