Pride on the Plaza

Dore Alley's legendary fair spills into Lone Star for an all-day dance marathon that's part social scene, part serious party. Doors open at noon and the crowd builds all afternoon and into the night — Paul Goodyear and Ben Fonik are on the decks, with NYC's boj headlining after last year's standout set. This is the kind of event where people actually connect on the dance floor.

A Sunday afternoon gathering at Powerhouse where the leather and cruising community comes together. Carne Fresca brings that raw, authentic energy the venue is known for — a chance to connect, cruise, and be part of the scene that keeps San Francisco's leather heritage alive.

The leather community's Sunday ritual at Powerhouse — a free afternoon where the dress code is optional and the vibe is unapologetically authentic. It's the kind of space that makes the leather district what it is: raw, welcoming, and real.

Sunday Funday in the Castro gets hedonistic at Popper Slut Disco — a weekly underwear dance party that starts at 5pm and goes all night. The Beaux go-go dancers are out in full force, bartenders are slingin' drinks in their skivvies, and resident VJs Aki & Deft are dropping pop, dance, and hip-hop videos on the big screens. Free clothing check if you want to dance in your underwear, or stay dressed — either way, the vibe is sexy and uninhibited. BOGO well cocktails and shots from 5-9pm, no cover charge.

Sunday nights at The Edge belong to the showtunes crowd — expect a room full of people who know every word, a piano player ready to take requests, and the kind of theatrical energy that only happens when queer folks get together to celebrate the music they love. It's irreverent, it's fun, and it's become a Castro institution.

Nerds and geeks get their moment at this cosplay and drag mashup — think comic book realness meets runway energy, all happening in one gloriously geeky show. It's the kind of event where your carefully crafted costume actually gets celebrated, and the drag queens are just as into the fandom as you are.
