In 2026, QTAPI Week in the Bay Area is bigger than ever! Join us for events throughout the months of May and June for all kinds of experiences, from the inspiring to the booty-shaking.

Many of our legacy events return this year, and we’ve partnered with organizations from across San Francisco to bring even more exciting opportunities to build community and celebrate the endless talents and stories of local QTAPI movers and shakers. And on June 7, we’ll bring QTAPI Week 2026 to a spectacular close - with performances, activities, music, health services, and more at our block party! In partnership with Artyhood and the OEWD.

Join us for LEAD Filipino's 2026 Queer Filipinx "Lakbay" Summit,  a celebration of baklâ (a Tagalog term we are embracing to represent all LGBTQIA+ people) communities who are living life BIG and making bold moves at a time where systems and society are trying to make LGBTQIA+ people and communities of color invisible. Through inspiring speakers and connection-building activities, we will highlight the power of our community when we come together to create hope and remain critically engaged.
