17th St High Heel Race

The High Heel Race is one of Washington, DC most unique events with a rich history of “Crossing The Line Since 1986”. On the Tuesday before Halloween, thousands of spectators pack the Dupont Circle Neighborhood to watch hundreds of costumed drag queens show off their extravagant outfits and race down Historic 17th Street, NW. The event begins at 9:00 p.m. Participants gather as early as 6:00 p.m. Photo Credit: 17th Street High Heel Race .
