The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Portland’s biggest bummer of a drag show is back for the third year and sadder than ever. Kick off Portland Pride weekend with a cozy community to witness a star-studded cast of queer artists bring their saddest acts to the stage. Sad Girl Summer is about celebrating the melancholy that comes with the brightest days — all facets of sadness (heartbreak, anger, silly-sad) are welcome here. So bring your tissues, layer on your favorite waterproof mascara, and soak up the sadness that comes with the rising heat of summer.
