Join ElderPride for our first BBQ and social of the summer! Join us on Killarney Lake beach to share food, connect, and enjoy an optional evening swim! This is an event for 2SLGBTQI+ adults and seniors. There will be ASL interpretation.

Our plan is to socialize/swim first and end with a BBQ. Swimming is optional! We will have a limited number of beach blankets and chairs available. Please feel free to bring a blanket or chair.

We will have both meat and vegan burgers (cooked separately), chips, veggies, cold drinks, and dessert. We promise we’ll try and change the menu up a bit at each event!

Please notify us in advance of any food allergies or dietary requirements (at least 48 hours notice).

This is a dry event (please note that liquor cannot be consumed in public spaces such as this without a special permit).

This event is WEATHER DEPENDENT. If it is safest to reschedule, we will post in the event a minimum of 2 hours before it is scheduled to start (likely earlier) and will add this cancellation to our online calendar. Please check the event before heading to Killarney!
