Join us for Ace Week 2025!
Ace Week is an international campaign that seeks to educate about asexual, aromantic, demisexual, and grey-asexual experiences and to create materials that are accessible to our community and our allies around the world.

Sunday, October 19th | 1pm - 3pm | Maywood Park, 3330 Pruneridge Ave, Santa Clara, CA
Asexuality SF's monthly socials provide an ace-friendly environment for aces to meet, socialize, and discuss ace experiences. This months meetup also falls on the first day of Ace Week, so we'll have a special focus on discussing upcoming ace week events, as well as education and outreach more broadly.
Saturday, October 25th | 12pm - 3pm | Beresford Park Picnic Area #2, 2720 Alameda de las Pulgas, San Mateo, CA
Join us for a potluck and ace week social mixer! This event is explicitly open to all allies who would like to learn more about asexuality, or just share and celebrate with good food. It's a great opportunity to learn a little bit more about the local ace community in a casual setting.
The Ace and Ally Mixer + Potluck will be at Beresford Park in San Mateo. We've reserved picnic area 2. Park map here.
We’re doing a potluck! Folks are welcome to bring foods they want to eat and/or share. Sign up sheet here. The first tab is for bringing food and drinks. The second tab is for volunteering for setting up, grilling, and cleaning up. Feel free to bring lawn games if you have them.
What should I bring?
Yourself! Bringing food or drinks for the potluck is encouraged but not required (No alcohol please!). For those who do bring potluck items, please also bring a list of ingredients so that anyone with allergies or other dietary restrictions can stay safe.
How can I find you at the park?
We will be in picnic area 2 on the north side of the park, which is right next to the area where we met for last year’s event. Look for ace flags!

Can I bring a friend? They’re not ace or aro though.
Yes, please bring a friend! Allies are welcomed. And if your fam needs to see happy aces to believe that you’re happy as you are, and they’re nice about it, bring them too! This is a casual hangout to low key spread ace awareness.
Please note: The parking lot area adjacent to the Beresford Community Garden will be closed for construction. While this nearby construction will not directly impact the picnic sites directly, parking may be more limited than usual in that immediate area. Other Beresford Park parking lots remain open and available for use.
