It means main attractions.
We say that a performer draws a crowd, which means that he attracts a crowd. This is an old use of the word 'draw' meaning to 'pull toward you'. It still exists in tools such as a 'draw plane'. It is also the origin of to 'draw a weapon'.
So in show business a performer who can draw a crowd is a 'draw' and the biggest performer will be the 'main draw'.
