Because parking is VERY LIMITED we highly recommend ride-sharing, public transit, or carpooling!
THERE WILL BE A DESIGNATED RIDESHARE DROP OFF AREA LOCATED ON FIGUEROA IN FRONT OF THE PARK. PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON FIGUEROA DURING THE EVENT SO WE CAN KEEP THIS DROPOFF AREA IN GOOD FLOW.

OUR CREW AND VOLUNTEER TEAM WILL HAVE BADGES ON, SO PLS ASK IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE. PLEASE SEE OUR MAP ON THE SCHEDULE PAGE FOR LAYOUT OF PARK.
🚃 TRANSIT OPTION 1: Take the Metro! Take the A Line (former Gold Line) to the Southwest Museum station. Then just walk off the platform, dance on down to Figueroa & you’ll see all the beautiful Dykes and Queers in the park right in front of you.
Don’t live near the A / Blue Line? Drive to the Heritage Square A / Blue Line Metro station, take advantage of their free 72 hr parking, then just hop on the Metro A / Blue Line for one stop to Southwest Museum station.

PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK ANY DRIVEWAYS. To respect our neighbors, we encourage the first two methods of transportation if possible
🚘 ACCESSIBLE PARKING:
The ADA lot entrance is on Avenue 49 at the corner of Figueroa St. which operates on a first come, first serve basis. Due to City/Park Rules a valid ADA Placard is required. To ensure that these spaces are reserved for those that need them most, please ensure you display the appropriate placard. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
PLEASE NOTE:
There is very limited parking in this lot as it often fills up early with local residents and other non dyke day park attendees, along with some who stay parked overnight. We have communicated this to the city, but unfortunately have very little control over this.
Is the Park Accessible via Wheelchair?
Yes the park is accessible for wheelchairs and other mobility devices. They are paved paths in the park shown in grey on the map and the grass can also be traveled. This is a crowded event and we do our best to open up additional pathways on the grass between paved paths. The edges of the park have some small hills and level changes. We will also have ADA compliant portable toilets for the event. The only stairs in the park are up the main stage.
Will the Main stage have an ASL interpreter ?
Yes we will have a team of ASL interpreters on the main stage providing their services.
Where is the best place for Kids?
We love kids of all ages at Dyke Day. The kids area and tent is located to the left of the main stage toward S Ave 49. This area has kids programming and activities (see schedule link). Please allow priority to children for Kid’s Tent activities including face painting and crafts. Please stay and supervise your kids.
What happens at the Sound Tent?
Music will be played here all day. We aim to bring you music of all genres to listen to. The area around the sound tent will be loud for the duration of Dyke Day.
Will there be food that I could buy?
Yes! We will have an array of food, drinks, and treats available to buy from our curated food trucks! These often get very busy so expect lines.
Will there be a lost and found?
Yes! If you find something that is not yours or find yourself missing something, please feel free to come to the Merch Table or Medic Tent and ask us.
Will there be an on-site Medic?
Yes! An on-site Nurse and Medic will be located near our Merch Booth left of the Main stage for the duration of the event! Please see our attached map to help you locate.
What is Dyke Day like?
Dyke Day is a gathering of Dykes of all genders and anyone who enjoys community. Everyone is welcome. This event has over a thousand people spread out over a large park area. Think of it as a giant picnic with a stage with performances, music, dancing, community tables, and fun. The event is in June which means it is usually warm to hot. This is a great day for comfy shoes, a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. There are food trucks which are often busy. Planning to come early, bring a picnic, and find a spot is our best advice. If you are nervous about attending, the best way to meet others is to volunteer!
I love Dyke Day and understand that it’s a volunteer run org, how can I support them?
We fund raise yearly to be able to afford to pay talent, supplies, porta potty’s, our vendors, permits, and even the toilet paper we replenish the porta pottys!! A donation to keep us living is greatly appreciated!

New - 2026 Social Media/ Marketing Guidelines:
Dyke Day does not use AI or ChatGPT/ auto generated content for it’s social media or marketing. Guidelines for collaborators:
Images/Art
- Dyke Day remains committed to supporting human effort and creativity. This does not mean eliminating software such as Canva, Adobe, or any other computer program that can aid in creativity. However, we urge our collaborators to stray away from AI programs that are entirely computer-generated without human editing or creation. We also encourage hiring local, independent graphic designers in our community if feasible. Let’s collectively stall the rise of robots and their efforts to take over humanity, while supporting LGBTQ+ artists.
Captions
- Please consider reducing or eliminating the use of AI programs for writing captions. We understand that many people struggle with writing content and will rely on programs for assistance. Editing programs to assist with grammar, punctuation, and other recommended edits are super useful. However, programs such as ChatGPT eliminate human creativity and contribute to the elimination of many jobs. It also harms the environment, amongst other dire social problems. Please consider writing captions on your own or acquire editing assistance from programs that don’t write content entirely for you.
Our social media team consists of two people with a large amount of content to create and information to share in a very short amount of time before events, so please be considerate of any comment response delays. Please also consider leading with kindness when commenting. Thank you.
