A Celebration of Bay Area & International Black Queer Fringe Arts entertainment right in the heart of San Francisco!

Black Ass Weekend 2026 is made possible by
San Francisco Arts Commission ✊🏽




In a city with a vibrant history of Black entertainment, San Francisco has always been a breeding ground for Fringe Arts and civil rights activism. Black Ass Weekend is our celebration of that heritage and a fierce commitment to its future. By centering Black Queer bodies, we continue to re-diversify the cabaret, performing arts and nightlife landscape, generating revenue for vital queer spaces to ensure the longevity of our culture.
