Atlanta’s iconic Whitehall Ballroom will serve Material Girl realness on August 13, as it welcomes the Big Atlanta MADONNA Drag Brunch.

Presented by WUSSY Magazine, the 21+ event takes place at 1 p.m., with doors opening at 11 a.m. for VIP ticket holders and at noon for general admission.

“Drag brunch is the great equalizer — everyone has a great time when they walk through those doors!”WUSSY’s Jon Dean told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “WUSSY is thrilled to kick off a new series of BIG Atlanta Drag Brunches at Southern Exchange Ballrooms and guarantees you’ve never experienced a drag brunch quite like this before. Local drag icons Brigitte Bidet and Drew Friday are hilarious on the microphone and have an amazing cast of queens ready to honor the Queen of Pop! Get all dolled up and immerse yourself in the fabulous world of drag brunch!”

Event tickets, food and beverage packages, and parking tickets for the event will be sold separately. The brunch buffet will serve bacon, turkey bacon, hash browns, eggs, biscuits, fruit salad and assorted pastries. And “bottomless mimosa” packages will ensure your glass is never empty. There will also be a full bar available for additional drink purchases.

“Whitehall Ballroom has held many grand events in its history spanning back to 1927,” Cristian Hernandez, director of business development at Southern Exchange Ballrooms, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “We are excited to continue the tradition and look forward to opening the doors to our premier event venue for a one-of-kind Drag Brunch series!”

This event is the first in a series of three drag brunches taking place this summer and fall. The next events are planned for September 24 and October 15 (during Atlanta Pride).
