Celebrate Loud and Proud at These 10 Pride Events This 2025
The art of drag meets the art of komiks
Komiket Pride isn’t just about what’s printed on the page, it’s about the stories we tell, the identities we claim, and the stages we build together. This year, the energy levels are off the charts as our favorite drag performers, think Manila’s legendary bakla beauty queens, fearless trans trailblazers, and newbies with dreams as big as their wigs, take to the floor. Expect show-stopping lip syncs, improv banter, and interactive artist collabs that’ll have you cheering “Pak! Ganern!” to every shade, silhouette, and stiletto strut. Over 80 artist tables will be decked out with rainbow komiks, zines, and merch, but you’ll also spot drag luminaries co-hosting workshops, posing for fan snaps, and even starring in pop-up comic readings with live visuals and surprise drag reveals. WHERE IN KOMIKET PRIDE WEEK 2!?! WE GOT YOU!
Why Pride at Komiket hits differently
This isn’t your typical comics convention, and it’s more than just a Pride party, it’s both, mashed up with community magic. Komiket Pride has always been about making space for Filipino LGBTQ+ stories to shine, but this year, with drag icons leading the charge, the vibe is all-out acceptance and celebration of queer brilliance. Whether you’re a veteran drag fan or a first-timer, you’ll feel the embrace of chosen family energy as generations of queer creators and fans come together for a weekend of art, solidarity, and good old baklaan. No wonder it’s topping the list of must-attend Pride events, come for the comics, slay for the queens, stay for the all-out joy.02E93: Komiket Pride 2025, Day Two, RockySunico.com
