What to bring?

let's make some waves!

Sun. Sound. Sweat. Community.
From Friday through Sunday, the QALDF pool transforms into the ultimate daytime dance experience β€” three unforgettable pool parties filled with rhythm, joy, and connection.

Our curated lineup of queer, trans, and allied DJs spins a vibrant fusion of salsa, bachata, merengue, reggaeton, and more β€” turning the poolside into a dance floor like no other.

And Sunday? We close big.
The legendary Sunday Funday Mega Pool Party returns β€” hosted by the dynamic Grace Towers β€” bringing the weekend to a high-energy finale complete with bold moments and our iconic Pool Party Dance Competition.

Come ready to dance. Come ready to cool off. Come ready to celebrate under the sun.

the perfect prelude!

Get ready to redefine your nightlife because the Queer Afro Latin Dance Festival is introducing something NEW this year – Early Evening Socials! Join us on Friday and Saturday from 6-9pm. 

πŸ’ƒ The Perfect Prelude to Your Night:
For those who crave the thrill of social dancing but prefer to start the party a little earlier, our Early Evening Socials are the answer. It's a chance to get your dance in well before the Night Parties, savoring every moment of the festival experience without having to wait.

🎢 Bay Area DJ Extravaganza:
The beats will be curated by some of the Bay Area's finest DJs, creating an ambiance that perfectly blends the vibrant energy of social dancing to Salsa & Bachata music.
