"Drag Story Hour was created in 2015 by writer Michelle Tea and RADAR Productions, under the leadership of Julián Delgado Lopera and Virgie Tovar. What began as drag queens reading books to children in libraries quickly blossomed into a global phenomenon. Today, DSH programs are led by drag queens, kings, and all royal beings, offering literary and creative programming for kids and audiences of all ages."
"This anniversary event will reunite original storytellers from the Bay Area, including beloved local icon Per Sia, the very first drag queen to read for Drag Story Hour. Storytellers from founding chapters across the country, including representatives from Indigenous Drag Story Hour, will also join the festivities, making this celebration a once-in-a-decade gathering of DSH's most dazzling voices. On October 29, Mayor Lurie named Per Sia as San Francisco's second drag laureate, serving as an ambassador for the Art of Drag performance."
Drag Story Hour began in 2015 at the San Francisco Public Library, created by Michelle Tea and RADAR Productions under Julián Delgado Lopera and Virgie Tovar. Drag performers read books to children in libraries and expanded into a global movement. Programs are led by drag queens, kings, and other performers, offering literary and creative programming for children and audiences of all ages. The organization evolved into a national nonprofit with an international network of independently run local chapters united by a mission to inspire imagination, self-expression, and acceptance. A tenth-anniversary celebration will take place December 14, 2025, at SFPL Main Branch featuring stories, songs, crafts, and original storytellers including Per Sia.
