Clique, a new LGBTQ bar in Springfield, held its first drag show on Saturday, July 17, to a very appreciative crowd.

Clique opened a few months ago, just as COVID-19 vaccinations were starting in Illinois. And while the bar has been open with capacity limits, this past weekend was the first the bar was hosting a bigger event. And people were lining up at the door.

Mahogany Knight, Ceduxion Carrington, Veronica Knight and J Estellado Knight all performed to a packed house.
