Brunch for a Queen: Mother’s Day Drag Brunch at Hardywood Richmond
This drag brunch, hosted by Michelle Livigne and featuring Adriana Fuentes, Leilani Envy and Drew Friday,
is adding a second show this year at 4 p.m. called the Mom-morial brunch to celebrate loved ones no
longer with us; each table will feature a dedicated chair in honor of a mother who has passed—a “beautiful
reminder that their love still has a seat at the table and they’re always part of the party” (aww, we love that).
This means you’ve got two chances: Bring the moms to either the celebratory 1 p.m. drag brunch, or come
for a heartfelt, beautiful tribute to the memory of moms at 4 p.m. (let those tears flow, it’s good for your eyes
and your heart). First come, first served seating. Tickets are only $5.49 plus a minor fee for each
show and you can find them here.
--------------------------
Free admission for Mother’s Day at Agecroft Hall
Come relax and have a picnic with the moms. Noon to 5 p.m. Also there will be a free Mother’s Day
concert with the Richmond Concert Band at 6 p.m. with a theme of “love and dancing.”
4305 Sulgrave Road. No pets, and don’t forget blankets. Free.
