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.

Frequently asked questions

I missed the presale. May I still get a paddle board rental or lunch/show ticket?

Yes you can--if there are still boards available to rent and/or the capacity for the lunch/show isn't maxed out. If you've missed the presale deadline, you may rent a paddle board by calling/texting (424) 262-1699 and purchase a lunch ticket at the time of the event at King Harbor Yacht Club.

Is there a phone number to call/text if I need help the day of the event?

Call/text: (424) 262-1699.

I already have a water vessel (paddle board, kayak, peddle boat, etc.). Do I need a rental?

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.

Is there a place for me to watch the Pride Paddle without getting in the water?

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.

What will be served at the at lunch?

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.

I want to see the lunch show, but I don't want the lunch food? Is there an option for me?

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.

What's the deal with parking?

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.

What's the dress code?

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.

Who are the drag performers?

Our awesome drag performers will be announced soon.
