We’re thrilled to welcome Poison Waters as our emcee. More than a personality, Poison is an experience! For over three decades, she has entertained audiences across the Pacific Northwest and beyond, hosting countless shows and fundraisers while raising awareness and support for community causes. From her longtime role at the legendary Darcelle XV Showplace to co-producing the Guinness World Record-breaking Drag-a-Thon that raised $300,000 for The Trevor Project, Poison has become one of Portland’s most beloved and iconic figures.
Joining her is our keynote speaker, Mike Bennett, Portland’s own “Public Joy Creator.” Known for transforming public spaces into whimsical wonderlands, Mike has brought smiles and imagination to the city through immersive art installations like Dinolandia, Wonderwood and The Portland Aquarium. His work has captured the hearts of Portlanders and visitors alike.
Together, Poison and Mike will set the tone for a gathering that blends energy, creativity and connection.
This event has sold out.
