Get Tix At Door

With everyone flooding the feed with their 2016 throwbacks and a whole decade having passed (rude), Marys Poppin is turning back the clock for one night only. Because apparently we all peaked in 2016 — and honestly? The receipts are online.

Our queens will be serving 2016-themed drag shows ALL NIGHT, paying tribute to the icons, trends and pop moments that ruled your timeline. Expect throwbacks, throw-downs and performances so nostalgic you’ll swear you’re watching them on an iPhone with a cracked screen.

DRAG SHOWS FROM 11PM-LATE

DJs ON DECKS ALL NIGHT

Dust off your chokers, dig out your bomber jacket, turn the Rio de Janeiro filter ON and come relive the era when life was simpler, pop music was louder and and confidence came free with every selfie!
