Oxford Pride
Oxford Pride
Oxford will be celebrating our community and surrounding community neighbors for the 2nd annual Oxford Pride on Saturday, March 14th, 2026 at the Oxford Community Arts Center! The ballroom inside this beautiful historic art venue will be transformed into a masked ball from 7:00 to 10:00 PM, where LGBTQ+ community members and allies are invited to come together for a fabulously queer night.
Oxford Pride is a celebration of identity, inclusion, and belonging. Designed to bring together LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies not only from the Oxford area, but also the surrounding communities. We hope this celebration will connect our communities and create memories that will last a lifetime in a space where everyone is welcome to be their authentic selves. Come as you are, or dazzle the crowd, either way, we’re here for you!

A Masquerade Evening with the Queens!
As twilight descends upon the ballroom, the veil between eras begins to shimmer. Prepare to be spellbound by transcendent performances from the Cincinnati-famous P.H. Dee and Oxford’s own Roxie D. Mocracy. With every twirl and every wink, these dazzling queens will weave magic through the ages — blending timeless glamour, quicksilver wit, and radiant charisma into a spectacle that defies time itself.
P.H. Dee:
“A Cincinnati-based drag queen, P.H. Dee (she/her) began her career in October 2018. Her stage name comes from her experience as a graduate student at Miami University, where she graduated with her master’s in August 2016 and stuck around for (half of) her PhD. During that time, she founded the Graduate Student Pride Association, a campus organization specifically for queer graduate students. Her first time in drag was during a fundraiser for the organization, and she’s been twirling ever since.
In the following six years, she has won an Outstanding Newcomer award, two pageants, and an artist residency, not to mention having served as co-entertainment director at two of Cincinnati’s LGBTQ+ bars. She continues to produce pop-up shows at various venues in the Cincinnati area and books a number of guest appearances at regional drag shows and events like these!”
Roxie D. Mocracy:
Hamilton-based drag queen known for her talents attending Hamilton Pride, Oxford Pride, Middletown Pride, and many local drag events around Butler County and beyond!
Don’t miss this chance to be captivated by Roxie’s witty personality, fabulous acts, and of course… show your love for D. Mocracy!
