Details
🌈 Help Build The Big Gay Picnic – Volunteer Meetup!
Want to help create one of the most welcoming LGBTQ+ community gatherings in San Diego? Join us for a casual meetup to learn how you can get involved behind the scenes with The Big Gay Picnic.
The Big Gay Picnic is a free monthly community potluck in Balboa Park where people come together to meet new friends, share food, play games, and celebrate community in a relaxed outdoor setting. Everyone is welcome—whether you come solo or with friends.
But events like this don’t happen by magic… they happen because of awesome volunteers like you.
