  • July 9: Damn These Heels Drag Show and Drive-in, featuring My Name Is Pauli Murray, 7:00 p.m. at Utah State Fair Park. "Join us for a fabulous drive-in drag show hosted by Madazon Can-Can and featuring Ivy Dior Stephens, Sequoia, Kay Bye, & Toodles. Performers will sashay under the stars making a big statement to defy norms, celebrate drag's rich history and unfurl their power of artistic expression. The show is a family-friendly, all-ages performance. DJ Mr. Gizmoe (Zachary Alonzo) will keep the show moving and energy high with pop, dance, and electronic music. Audiences are encouraged to come early to drag out your car and amplify the pride vibes using fabulous recycled materials from Clever Octopus." Drive-in and drag show tickets are available now. 
  • July 12 and 15: Kick Off Your Heels, Community Conversations. FREE. "Meet up virtually with Damn These Heels programmers and fellow festival attendees to discuss ideas, themes, festival films, or whatever is on your mind, from the comfort of home. The informal discussion will be kicked off by a host and attendees are welcome to break out into different rooms to explore topics of interest. While there is no substitute for the buzz of a movie theater lobby following a great screening, this informal film chat will strengthen community connections near and far until we can all gather again. Damn These Heels Programming Committee members Cat Palmer (with special guest Moudi Sbeity from Laziz) and Derrek Wall will lead the discussions over Zoom." Reserve your spot. 
  • July 13: Utah LGBTQIA Shorts Program, 7:00 p.m. "Celebrate Utah stories and home-grown filmmakers in this local short film program. Each short film will include a video introduction from the filmmaker." FREE. Reserve your spot.

  • July 16: Live DJ set with Mr. Gizmoe (Zachary Alonzo), 8:00 p.m. "Kick off your heels, clear out the living room, and set your own mood for a FREE virtual DJ set!
