Raat is San Francisco’s newest queer South Asian nightlife experience—where tradition meets the dance floor. Founded by a long-time community organizer and party curator, Raat is a space to celebrate our heritage, our queerness, and our unapologetic joy. We spotlight South Asian DJs, performers, and artists who bring vibrant beats, bold style, and diasporic magic to the night. Expect big colors, big moves, and a crowd that knows how to bring the energy. Raat builds on many years of queer South Asian event organizing in the Bay Area, now reimagined for the present moment. Every party is designed to be both a cultural homecoming and a sweaty, glitter-drenched release. Come for the music, stay for the community—you’ll leave with your heart full and your feet tired.
