San Francisco’s queer community is about to get deliciously chaotic this weekend. Rikki’s, the beloved women’s sports bar in the Castro, is hosting a pie-eating contest that’s equal parts hilarious performance art and fierce competition.

Sweet and Saucy Fundraising

Organized by Curve magazine founder Franco Stevens, this event isn’t just about who can demolish a pie fastest - it’s actually raising funds and visibility for Lesbian Visibility Week happening in April 2026. With a $100 grand prize and a $5 entry fee, participants are invited to face-plant into pies without using hands or utensils. Talk about commitment to the craft!

No Rules, Just Pie

The rules are delightfully simple: bring a 9-inch pie, be prepared to get messy, and aim to finish fastest. “No forks. No hands. No shame,” says Stevens - a motto we can absolutely get behind. Whether you’re a serious “pie athlete” or just here for the comedic potential, this event promises maximum entertainment.

Community Celebration

Beyond the sticky, sweet spectacle, this contest represents something deeper - a playful celebration of lesbian community and visibility. In a world that often tries to make queer spaces smaller, events like these remind us how wonderfully weird and wonderful we can be.
