Frock of Ages: Free Drag Fundraiser at New Belgium Brewing

Get ready to trade the concert hall for the drag stage when Frock of Ages brings rock-and-roll attitude, big hair, bold looks, and powerhouse performances to New Belgium Brewing in Asheville.

This free, all-ages drag fundraiser takes place Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM. Produced by Bearded Lady Productions and hosted by Calcutta, Frock of Ages combines live drag entertainment with an opportunity to support Asheville Poverty Initiative and its work addressing poverty, hunger, housing, and economic justice in the Asheville community.

Admission is free, but advance reservations are required. Food and beverages will be available for purchase on-site, and a suggested donation of $5–$10 gives guests another easy way to support the fundraiser.

Rock and Roll Gets a Fabulous Drag Makeover

Frock of Ages celebrates the music, fashion, and unapologetic energy of rock and roll with an unmistakably drag twist.

Expect glam-rock attitude, rhinestones, theatrical performances, and a cast ready to turn a Sunday afternoon into something closer to a stadium show. Guests are encouraged to embrace the theme with leather, lace, concert-inspired looks, or whatever makes them feel ready to rock.

The event is hosted by Calcutta and features professional drag performers bringing their own take on legendary rock-and-roll style. It is designed to be high-energy, welcoming, and accessible to audiences of all ages.

New Belgium Brewing provides the setting at 21 Craven Street in Asheville. Seating is table-sharing style, and the venue will have food and beverages available for purchase. A cash bar offering beer and wine will also be available for guests of legal drinking age.

A Fundraiser for Asheville Poverty Initiative

Behind the music, costumes, and performances is a serious purpose.

Frock of Ages benefits Asheville Poverty Initiative, a local organization working to build community and promote economic justice. Its programs include 12 Baskets Café and Realities of Poverty, with work centered around inclusivity, abundance, dignity, and addressing issues connected to hunger, housing, and poverty.

Bearded Lady Productions is a nonprofit organization that uses drag entertainment to raise money for local nonprofits promoting acceptance, equity, and the welfare of Asheville community members. Its Asheville Drag Brunch events combine entertainment with community giving, allowing audiences to have a memorable afternoon while supporting organizations doing meaningful work locally.

That means attending Frock of Ages is about more than seeing a drag show. It is an opportunity to enjoy local entertainment while helping strengthen an organization serving people throughout the Asheville community.
