Join us for the 5th Annual South Bay Pride Paddle & Luncheon!
We’re bringing Pride to the water—South Bay style. This one-of-a-kind parade happens on the harbor, followed by a celebratory lunch and drag show.
Come for the paddle, the lunch, or both!
No vessel for the paddle parade? No problem. Olympus Board Shop will once again provide paddle boards for rent—delivered right to the docks. Have your own gear? Just show up and join the fun at no cost extra to you.
After the paddle, celebrate with a festive lunch and live drag performances. Tickets available for lunch with the show or show-only access with no lunch—your choice!
Presales end on 6/28/25 at 12pm PST.

If you already have your own water vessel, you do not have to rent one from us to participate in the Pride Paddle. You may bring your vessel at no extra cost to you to the King Harbor Yacht Club's West Dock or meet us in King Harbor.
There will be an easy-up canopy with chairs near the launch site for people to watch and cheer on the paddle. You may also view the paddle from anywhere in King Harbor.
The preset lunch will be announced soon. There will also be a paid bar available, which will not be included in the lunch pricing. Food items are subject to change without notice.
Yes, for anyone who just wants to see the show but who does not or cannot eat the lunch, there are ticket options for you.
There is limited, free parking at the King Harbor Yacht Club. Carpooling is highly encouraged. This is a private club that is graciously letting us use their facilities while the club is still operational, so we want to leave as much parking spaces as possible for club members.
Pride colors are highly encouraged throughout. For the paddle, we recommend wearing attire that might get wet and is breathable. For the lunch, casual, restaurant-appropriate, family-friendly attire is fine. If needed, bathrooms and locker rooms are on-site for changing.
Our awesome drag performers will be announced soon.
