Mendi’s Celebration of Life

Mendi’s Celebration of Life


Join us for an unforgettable evening of drag, joy, and remembrance as we honor the life and spirit of Mendi. This community-centered celebration uplifts queer artistry and mutual care through performance, laughter, and collective love.

Featuring an incredible lineup of drag performers from Philly, NY, and NB— Mendi’s Celebration of Life invites us to gather in memory and pride, with proceeds going toward Zaha / aid to families in Gaza.

Suggested donation at the door: $10–1 million (give what you can—no one turned away!).

Let’s celebrate Mendi’s legacy the way they would’ve wanted: with glitter, power, and unapologetic beauty.
