Asheville – If you’ve ever wanted to follow the yellow brick road to a fabulous brunch, now’s your chance! On November 16th, the Banks Ave. Bar will transform into a whimsical wonderland for an Oz-themed drag brunch that promises to be as delightful as a basket of flying monkeys. This enchanting event not only serves up delicious food but also supports a vital cause—Cornbread & Roses.
A Celebration of Community and Courage
Hosted by the dazzling Katarina Synclaire, this brunch is more than just a meal; it’s a celebration of togetherness. “The Oz-themed drag brunch offers a unique opportunity for our community to come together, enjoy creative performances, and support a meaningful cause,” said a representative from Asheville Drag Brunch. The event will feature 8-10 theatrical performances inspired by the beloved characters and themes of *The Wizard of Oz*, emphasizing courage, friendship, and resilience.
Attendees can expect a vibrant atmosphere filled with bold performances and colorful looks, all while enjoying delicious offerings from Biscuit Head South. The event is designed to create a space where everyone feels seen and valued, bridging diverse groups and fostering a stronger local community.
Supporting Cornbread & Roses
The collaboration between Asheville Drag Brunch and Cornbread & Roses is rooted in a shared mission to uplift the LGBTQ+ community in Sylva and beyond. Since its inception in 2021, Cornbread & Roses has provided essential services like mental health support and food security to underserved individuals. “Their impact extends beyond immediate needs, as they actively foster a culture of inclusivity and acceptance,” the representative noted.
By attending this brunch, participants not only enjoy a fabulous experience but also contribute to a nonprofit that has become a trusted resource in the area. Proceeds from the event will directly benefit Cornbread & Roses, helping them continue their important work in the community.

Tickets for the brunch are “pay what you can” with a minimum of $10, making it accessible for everyone. The event kicks off at 11:00 a.m., and seating will be table-sharing style, encouraging connections among attendees. “This celebration is for everyone, no matter what path you’re on,” the representative emphasized.
For those unable to attend but still wishing to contribute, donations can be made through the Asheville Drag Brunch website. With all profits going to charity, this event is not just about brunch; it’s about building a supportive community where everyone can thrive.
So grab your friends, put on your best ruby slippers, and get ready for a morning filled with laughter, joy, and unforgettable performances. There’s truly no place like home, especially when it’s filled with love and support for one another.
