Description:

🏳️‍🌈 MELT FESTIVAL EVENT 🏳️‍🌈

Born from the legacy of Miss First Nation, history is being made with the world premiere of the first Mr First Nation pageant in October 2026.

HEAT 1: BEST NATIONAL COSTUME

Watch as contestants take the stage in bold, show-stopping looks inspired by their home, culture, community, and personal journey. More than just a runway moment, each ensemble is a powerful expression of identity, storytelling, and self-made swagger.

Contestants will share the inspiration behind their looks and reflect on their journey into the world of drag king performance through candid interviews. Expect creative costumes, cultural pride, sharp character work, and plenty of charisma as these kings bring their stories to life on stage.
