THE Golden Sands Tavern is once again set to dazzle the Nambucca Valley, with Brisbane’s leading drag queen, Abril Latrine, returning to host a hilarious and highly entertaining evening of Drag Bingo and dance on Saturday, 4 October.
This glittering night of fun and laughter isn’t just about entertainment, it’s about community.
The event is being held to raise funds for ShoreTrack, a local organisation transforming the lives of young people who have become disengaged from the school system.
ShoreTrack offers an alternative pathway to education by helping young people develop essential life and work skills, preparing them for vocational training, further education, or direct entry into the workforce.
Their programs range from Certificate II in Rural Operations to hands-on social enterprise projects in areas such as fencing, carpentry, metal fabrication, mowing, and firewood supply.
Funds from the event will help purchase essential personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, sunscreen, and earplugs to keep participants safe while building confidence and job readiness.
Golden Sands Tavern has proudly supported ShoreTrack in the past, drawing a huge crowd when Abril Latrine last graced the stage.
The return of the queen of glitz and glamour promises another unforgettable evening.
“We see pubs as being social hubs that bring the community together, and we like to give back to our community when we can,” the Golden Sands Tavern’s Ash Downe told News Of The Area.
“We love what ShoreTrack is doing for young people here in the Nambucca Valley and can’t think of an organisation more worthy of our support.
“The last time Abril joined us, people said they hadn’t laughed so hard in years so we thought, let’s do it again.”
For Abril, the return to Nambucca Heads is something she’s been looking forward to.
“I can’t wait to be back in the Nambucca Valley to bring the glitz, glamour, and plenty of laughs while raising funds for the amazing organisation that is ShoreTrack,” Abril told NOTA.
With the Golden Sands Tavern once again rolling out the red carpet, this promises to be a spectacular night where comedy, community spirit, and fabulous drag entertainment come together for a worthy cause.
