2025 Arizona Pride Tour stops in Yuma
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A burst of color and community filled the Historic Yuma Theatre Sunday night as the 2025 Arizona Pride Tour returned to Yuma.
The show started at 7:00 p.m., and featured two local performers, Inky Oshanns and Poison Ivy Oshanns, along with performers from all across the southwest U.S.
For its third year in a row, it drew a packed crowd and an even bigger message.
The show is part of an annual tour which brings the "art of drag" to rural communities across Arizona.
This year's event in Yuma sold over 230 tickets, prompting organizers to move into a larger venue.
"I didn't realize how many younger people become homeless or suicidal because their parents disown them for being who they are. And since I retired, I started learning that, helping Miss Nature and everything, it's a beautiful thing," said Terri Hall, Miss Nature's father.
Last year, KYMA spoke to the executive director of Miss Nature LLC, who said the tour would branch out of Arizona, stopping in Blythe, California, with additional plans to venture out to New Mexico and other states.
Organizers says they'll be back again next year, bigger and better than ever.
