Check out these awesome photos from Wigstock’s return

A performance at Wigstock 2018

After 17 years, Wigstock finally made its return. The annual event, started by drag veteran Lady Bunny in the 1980s, ended in 2001. That it, until this year.

Lady Bunny, along with Neil Patrick Harris, revived the Wigstock festival. It took place on Saturday (1 September) at Pier 17 in Manhattan.

The pictures

Here are some amazing photos from the return of Wigstock. You may see some familiar faces in attendance, including Bianca del Rio, Alaska, Willam, Amanda Lepore, Peppermint, and more.
