RAAT: San Francisco South Asian Queer Pride 2026

BAY AREA... LISTEN 👏 UP 👏

This Pride, RAAT is hosting a South Asian Queer Party like never before.

Join us at Mabuhay Gardens on June 20, 2026 at 9:00 PM (PDT) for a night full of amazing vibes, community, and unforgettable moments.

Whether you're here to dance, connect, or just have a great time, this event is all about love, pride, and our community.

Be there for THE South Asian Queer pride event of the season.

We're keeping the same energy, with a bigger and bolder stage. We are throwing our community into the spotlight. We deserve nothing but the best, and refuse to settle for less. Why should our Pride party be different?

Think: a nonstop dance floor, blending beats between classic south asian sing-alongs, pop divas, global club sounds, and dance vibes.

We're doing:

• Packed dance floor with music that makes you move
• A party that will keep you on your feet until 2am (and don't forget your $1's for our performers!)
• Sexy, iconic looks: sweat, eyeliner, glitter, jewelery, bollywood glam, unfiltered desi perfection.

What we're not doing:

• boring shaadi energy (no sleeping on chairs on the side of the dance floor)
• the same songs you hear every time (ok, maybe one Choli ki Peeche)
• a bland, same same showcase (expect surprises)

We're over being polite. We're over being basic.

❌ No dusty didis or busted babus here. ❌

We're doing: Besharam Baddies 💅🏾. Badtameez Bitches 😜. Mission Maasis 👑, Castro Kuttis 💋 and Bay Area Betis 👌🏾

9:00 -10:00 PM - Hotties Happy Hour

• Drink specials and yummy snacks
• Vendors and artists takeover (showcasing the best Bay Area South Asian artists - if you want to be showcased, email us!)
• Space to vibe, chat, snack, flirt, kiss, meet your next boo, etc.

10:00 PM - 12:00 AM - Show the fuck up

• DJ's running Bollywood, Punjabi, South Indian, Reggaeton, Amapiano - whatever vibe that hits
• Drag + Performance artists causing a scene in the best way possible
• Giveaways, chaos, and unforgettable moments

12:00 - 2:00AM - Show the fuck out

• Maybe a prize for the best dressed baddie of the night
• Maybe a few custom RAAT giveaways
• Maybe a photographer that captures your excellent lewk
• Maybe a new boo to make fuzzy memories with
• Definitely dancing the night away. Definitely a Pride to remember

We Party with a Purpose

This year, more than ever, we know that our space is integral to our community's success, and our survival.

We are a space for US - South Asian Queers - to be ourselves. In a world that feels so large and so hard, we are making time for our joy, our fun, and our vibes.

We know not all of us have had the luxury to spend our lives out, loud, and proud. It's our responsibility to make sure none of our queer family feels alone, ever, and that there is always a space for our Trans and queer brothers, sisters, cousins, community.

This year, RAAT is partnering with The Trevor Project to donate a portion of our proceeds. If you want to increase your contribution - you can add it on to your ticket purchase, or donate at the party.

We party for us, but we also party for THEM. For past and future generations that deserve nothing but the extreme joy of being loved.
