Hosted by drag and burlesque artist Icon Ebony-Fierce, the brunches will include drag and other performances, CBD cocktails, drink specials and more.

There will be breakfast staples like omelets and pancakes to eat, but also creative dishes. The Pride Salmon Deluxe ($13) includes lox, scallion cream cheese, capers, pickled onion and tomato on a rainbow bagel. The Hangover Burger ($15) has chili mayo, pickled pepper, American bacon and a fried egg.

Drinks include the CBD Pride Punch ($12), only available during drag brunch, made with fruit juices, vodka and water-soluble CBD.

Entrance to "Milk & Cookies" will be free. Performances will take place at 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

"The idea of 'Milk & Cookies' came alive during Philly Beer Week earlier this year, when we hosted the only LGBTQ-related event," MilkBoy co-founder Jamie Lokoff said"We’re proud to contribute to Philly's vibrant LGBTQ scene and to host a fun brunch series that offers a little bit more than your usual brunch fare."
