On Saturday, March 28, 2026, the charitable and artistic event, Sidragtion, will make its debut in the city center of Rouen. This event combines fundraising for Sidaction with the art of drag.
Drag queens Tresha Dollaj and Délíce D’orge J will roam the streets of Rouen from 2 pm to 5 pm to raise money for HIV research and showcase their art. The Sidragtion event was created 10 years ago in Paris by three drag artists and has since expanded to multiple cities in France.
Although a follow-up evening event was planned, it had to be canceled. The artists will animate the streets with music and a microphone, distributing condoms and red ribbons symbolizing Sidaction. There is no specific fundraising goal for this event.
The drag queens had called for volunteers to ensure safety and logistics, but unfortunately, medical prevention services could not be provided due to the lack of a fixed location. Despite this, they expect between 15 and 50 participants, including other drag queens and volunteers.
If you encounter Tresha Dollaj and Délíce D’orge J in Rouen’s city center, it’s an opportunity to contribute to a good cause. In 2025, Sidaction received 3,909,357 euros in donation pledges.
