Pride Walk – Roze Maandag, Tilburg Kermis (Part 3)
“Don’t Be a Drag, Just Be a Queen”

As Lady Gaga sang it — and these queens lived it — the Pride Walk in Tilburg gave center stage to the art, power, and flamboyant joy of drag.

These photos are a tribute to the performers who graced the streets in towering heels, layers of glitter, and personalities even bigger than their wigs. Some looks were polished to perfection, others wonderfully over-the-top — but each one was a bold, beautiful statement of visibility and celebration.

Drag is not just entertainment — it's protest, expression, performance, and empowerment. It challenges norms, flips gender expectations, and radiates self-love in every shimmering sequin. As I weaved through the crowd (without bumping a soul, thank you very much 😄), I couldn’t help but feel both admiration and awe for these living works of art.

Shot with my Canon 5D Mark III and Sigma 100–400mm lens, I tried to capture the poise, humor, and pure joy that these queens brought to Roze Maandag. From confident poses to spontaneous laughter — this was Pride in motion.

Because in a world that often tries to dull our shine, drag reminds us: it’s okay to take up space, to be seen, and to be fabulous doing it.
