Dhanak QWT Pride Brunch 2026

🏳️‍🌈 Dhanak’s QWT Pride Brunch 2026: A Celebration of South Asian Queer Joy 🏳️‍⚧️

Get ready for the return of Dhanak Pride Brunch on June 27 (formerly Desi Dyke Brunch)! We’re taking over San Francisco once again to celebrate South Asian queer culture and community. This event is for people across the South Asian diaspora who identify as lesbian, bisexual, or queer women; trans men and women; nonbinary, and questioning folks. This isn't just a brunch - it’s a high-energy takeover where the SA diaspora gathers to celebrate queer joy, unapologetic identity and our collective power! 🔥✨

☀️ What to expect:

A vibrant, sun-filled afternoon of incredible food, drinks, music, dancing, and meaningful connection. Whether you’re coming with friends or solo, this is a space to feel seen, held, and celebrated. We’ve sold out four years in a row; get your ticket early so you don’t miss out!

🎟️ Tickets & Info:

Dhanak is a 100% volunteer-run, grassroots organization. Your support helps us sustain this space and expand access for others.

• Sliding-scale ticket tiers: Please choose the level that feels right for you. Higher tiers help subsidize tickets for community members who may not otherwise be able to attend.

🧡 Community Guidelines:

This brunch is intentionally created as a safer space for marginalized South Asian genders and sexualities. We kindly ask that cisgender men do not attend, so we can preserve this intention.

We have a zero-tolerance policy for racism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, casteism, ableism, or harassment of any kind. This includes non-consensual behavior. Anyone violating these guidelines will be asked to leave.

Let’s co-create a space rooted in respect, care, and joy.
