Visitors in South Lake Tahoe can spend Saturday, October 17, 2026, at a drag show and bingo fundraiser benefiting regional survivor services. The program starts at 6:30 p.m. inside South Lake Brewing Company. Entry begins at 6:00 p.m. Watching the entertainment is free, while participation in bingo requires a paid game package. The Twampsons will guide the night, which also includes a raffle.

Vista Rise Collective is producing the gathering with the brewery. A $25 package provides a card for every round of bingo along with one entry in the raffle. Bingo players must be 18 or older. The brewery is located at 1920 Lake Tahoe Blvd in South Lake Tahoe. Advance purchases are available through vistarise.org/bingo, and cash tips for the drag performers are welcomed.

Money collected through the games and raffle will help Vista Rise Collective provide emergency response, survivor advocacy and educational prevention work. Those programs serve people impacted by relationship abuse or sexual harm across South Lake Tahoe and Alpine County. The fundraiser falls during October, which the City Council has designated as a month focused on awareness of domestic abuse.
