Miss Continental is an annual drag queen pageantry system founded in 1980 by Jim Flint. The pageant itself takes place at the Baton Show Lounge in Chicago, Illinois, and is usually held over Labor Day weekend. In 1991, the Miss Continental Pageantry System debuted Miss Continental Plus, a pageant for competitors weighing 225 pounds or more; Miss Continental Elite was created in 2004 for entertainers who are over the age of 40. Formerly, both Miss Continental Plus and Miss Continental Elite had been held each year over the Easter weekend, in Chicago; now all are held during the Labor Day weekend. Mr. Continental was formed in 2003 for male entertainers.
