Drag Queen Story Hour

Brookside Gardens, in partnership with Drag Queen Story Hour of Montgomery County and WAM and Fam hosts a monthly Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH). Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) is just what it sounds like—drag queens reading stories to children in libraries, schools, and bookstores – and now in the Gardens! DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. In spaces like this, kids see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can present as they wish and where dress-up is real.
