Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, today announced the lineup of BrunchOUT 2023, the brand’s beloved annual drag brunch series. In partnership with long-term nonprofit partner, The Trevor Project, the series kicks off in Nashville this June for Pride Month with additional events taking place throughout 2023.
BrunchOUT features performances by national and local drag queens across select Kimpton hotels in the US.

Since Kimpton’s inception, we have supported the LGBTQ+ community and created spaces where people can not only gather and connect, but also feel comfortable and embraced for being their most authentic selves.”
