On this unsurprisingly hot weekend in Buenos Aires, the Barrio Chino is celebrating the Chinese New Year, Fiesta Plop is hosting another summer-themed drag show, and there is no shortage of live shows!
FRIDAY, JANUARY 24
Fiesta Plop!
Fiesta Plop is one of the most popular drag shows in the city. Each week, Plop offers a party with a different theme- for this week it is SUMMER! During the first hour of the party, there will be a 2 for 1 promotion for drinks at the bar. In true drag queen fashion, the dancers usually start their performance a little later than expected. The party usually begins between 2am-3:30am and ends at 6am! McDonald’s is just across the street for your breakfast convenience. 😉
