Built with the community

Hometown roots. A shared stage.

On August 14, 2026, BAE and Unorthodox Drag brought drag artists, queer performers, local sponsors, and a hometown audience together at The Crofoot.

For Broken Arrow, the event connected the same work that goes into a venue night—hosting, music, performers, and understanding the room—at festival scale.

That experience informs the way we approach live entertainment and event production, with the scope shaped to the night you want to create.
