We’re bringing Kink back into Pride.
Dive into an exhilarating mix of kink, BDSM, history, dance, and movement, enriched by powerful lectures and workshops—all presented by a passionate lineup of Queer and Queer-allied voices. Explore the vibrant history and culture of our local community in a safe, inclusive space dedicated to empowerment and exploration. Whether you're looking to learn, play, or connect, K!nk at Pride is your community-driven festival of the celebration of Queer liberation and expression.
This event offers a two-day experience into interactive learning, featuring a mix of workshops, hands-on classes, and inspiring lectures tailored to enhance your skills and understanding. You’ll have the opportunity to attend 12 different classes and time in between to meet, mingle, and break bread with your community and the presenters themselves.
K!nk at Pride is the second weekend of Pride Month, coming off a previous weekend of Santa Cruz Pride and Motion Pacific’s Majesty. Let’s get back to our roots and remember what Pride is really about.
We will have a mix of three major categories every day:
Rope & Kink, Dance & Movement, and Queer History & Lectures
