Mother Goose, Episode 3 - Choose Miss Letros
This episode is largely about an annual event in Toronto that was a direct challenge to gender norms – the Halloween Drag Ball at Letros Tavern on King street. We don’t know exactly how old a tradition the Halloween drag ball was in Toronto. The first mention we’ve found was in 1949, in a tabloid called Flash. In that story though, the writer alluded to the fact that it definitely wasn’t Toronto’s first Halloween drag ball. In the 1950s, it was held at a bar called Letros, where it became a cherished institution.

Whereas the last episode was about finding a bar, this episode will explore how the people challenged the closet in formal and informal ways, as well as the relationship between queers and the racialized community that lived in the neighbourhood of Toronto known as “The Ward.”
