Drake’s magical odyssey commenced 29 years ago, and since then, he has crisscrossed the United States like a comet trailing stardust. From the sun-kissed fields of County Fairs to the bustling streets of City Festivals, Drake has left audiences spellbound with his mesmerizing performances. Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri—each state a chapter in his mystical saga. But it doesn’t stop there. Alabama, Texas, Nevada, Louisiana, and Florida have all witnessed his prestidigitations. He’s been on NBC and CW Network stages, lent his mystical touch to the set of NCIS New Orleans and even conjured illusions at Six Flags in Vallejo, California.
He’s back with us again this year for Stanton Old Fashioned Days, performing multiple shows a day, starting off on Stage as the opening act prior to the Miss Stanton Scholarship Pageant at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Be sure to catch one of his performances on stage or on street throughout the Festival.
