11:00am - 4:00pm

West Bluff BBQ/Picnic area in Crissy Field*, San Francisco.

Bring your clan and let's see what a whole load of gay dads and their kids looks like! We'll have some activities for the kids of all ages, but will need some volunteers to help out too. Our Family Coalition & COLAGE will also be on hand with some of their own activities for the kids too! Our aim is to give the dads as much of a break as well! ;-)

We will have a basket out for donations from each family that is able to donate ($5-$20) to help cover some of the shared costs - entertainer for the kids, supplies for kids games, charcoal for bbq's, condiments, paper plates, cups, napkins, utensils, paper table clothes etc etc...all you need to bring:

BBQ food (and buns) and a side dish (burger accoutrement, salad, dips, fruit, beans, veg, chips, cookies, desert etc) - we'll have a couple of folks behind the BBQ grilling all day, so we plan on having one "mega share potluck" - we'll grill all day and lay out the sides. Then we all share. Easy. Special requests a-ok too.

Drinks - bring whatever works for you in your cooler.

Blankets, chairs, wind-breakers etc to make a comfy spot. Bring any fun outdoor games you may have for the kids...

Sunscreen, cameras, PRIDE flags etc.

Bathing costumes & towels! We'll be right next to the beach - and if it's a hot day we'll have fun frolicking at the water's edge.... so bring a change of clothes for your kids!

Specific Location:
We will be nabbing the BBQ/picnic area known as "West Bluff in Crissy Field". This is located at the western end of Crissy Field with plenty of parking right next to the picnic area, which is just east of the Warming Hut cafe and "amphitheater". Drive as far west as you can on Old Mason Street and park just after the roundabout - we will have some balloons/flags to mark our spot.
