Bushwig 2017 was a sight to behold. Now in its magnificent sixth year, the festival has grown leaps and bounds and is certainly bigger than most of the wigs worn over the course of the two-day lineup. 

Queens from all over came out of their walk-in closets to celebrate one another and the complex art of drag at Knockdown Center over the weekend. We captured the best looks and are still shaking glitter out of our hair!
