San Francisco always celebrates the holidays with its own unique flair and the Drag Queens on Ice at the Safeway Holiday Ice Rink in Union Square is no exception.
Listen to the latest episode of "Bay Current" below.
Olympic gold medalist figure skater and San Francisco resident Brian Boitano, along with many other stars from the hit show “RuPaul's Drag Race,” made an appearance at Thursday's 12th annual event.
"I didn't know there were so many ice skating drag queens in San Francisco, it’s so nice to see," RuPaul’s Drag Race star Denali said on KCBS Radio’s "Bay Current" on Friday. "What I love about drag is blending my worlds together, and seeing other queens do the same thing, it's amazing."
The event, which featured American drag actor Donna Sachet as the host, encouraged drag queens with varying skills to skate the rink and debut their Christmas attire. There was also an appearance made by Mayor London Breed.
"This is a great event and it's great to be at this ice skating rink to see these talented skaters," Breed said on KCBS Radio's "Bay Current." "This is what we (San Francisco) are all about. We are celebrating each other for our diversity because that is our strength."
