On Sunday, there will be fun and there will be food at Drags Benny Vancouver, a fundraiser for the Vancouver Pride Society.

It’s at the Fairmont Waterfront hotel (partnered with Eat North and TD Bank). Chef Michael Pagnacco’s three-course brunch, some drag-inspired drinks, and a stellar lineup of top drag performers should make for an unforgetta­ble day.
