High Heel Drag Queen Race
The High Heel Drag Queen Race is an informal costumed drag queen race in Washington, D.C. Each year on the Tuesday before the Halloween holiday, thousands of spectators come to Dupont Circle to watch as 100 or so costumed drag queens show off their elaborate outfits and race down 17th Street. Bars and restaurants along the route prepare special drinks and dishes for the occasion.
==History==
Twenty-five contestants entered the first high heel drag race held outside J.R.'s Bar & Grill (at 1529 17th St NW) on Halloween 1986. The midnight dash went one and a half blocks to Annie's Paramount Steak House where the racers ran upstairs for a shot of schnapps, then down the stairs and back down the street to JR’s. Clinton Winter won the race and a bottle of champagne.
Dave Perruzza, general manager of JR.'s organized the event for its first 25 years. He organized hundreds of volunteers to help carry out the event and clean up afterward. He worked with the police to change the event to the Tuesday before Halloween, as a way of thinning the growing crowds. In 2011, at the 25th anniversary he stepped down as organizer giving the responsibility to the organization Historic Dupont Circle Main Streets.〔〔(17th St. High Heel Race ), Historic Dupont Circle Main Streets〕
On the 2011 25th anniversary, DC Mayor Vince Gray, served as grand marshal of the event.〔 Upwards of 100,000 spectators were expected for the 25th anniversary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.highheelracedc.com/HHR/About.html )〕
