Halloween Drag Queen Storytime

October 31, 2026

Tickets aren't on sale right now.

Celebrate the Halloween season with us through the joy of reading! We are opening up our doors for one day to all the ghosts and goblins around, so please come dressed in your favorite Halloween costumes or fall attire, and remember, drag is for all! This storytime will include a fun themed craft for kids, and for the last 15 minutes we will invite kids and parents for fun trick-or-treating inside the building, so bring your candy baskets and bags.

Join Miss Shirley as she reads some of her favorite children's books! An accomplished storyteller, Miss Shirley uses stories to celebrate the diversity of our big, beautiful world through the glamorous art of drag. Her Drag Queen Storytime program encourages creativity, curiosity, and of course, a love for reading.

Miss Shirley leads an interactive storytime with questions, personal stories, and a special Q&A segment, “Ask the Drag Queen.” Guests will also have the chance to take photos with Miss Shirley, capturing the colorful vibe of Halloween. Don’t be surprised if an impromptu dance party takes off and gets more than just werewolves howling. We welcome families to join us in the back, where we will have a fun and festive craft for the kids; it’s all part of the spooky magic!

Some possible book titles include: Perfectly Norman by Tom Percival and Be Who You Are by Todd Parr.

Costume expectations: Toy props, plastic swords, guns, wands, or other props that could be used to hit others are not allowed.
