The legendary Sing Dance Crawl turns 20 and moves to Pacific Beach for Memorial Day weekend 2026. Six venues, 2,000+ crawlers in red, white, and blue, all benefiting the Wingman Foundation.
Event Overview
Sing Dance Crawl enters its 20th year supporting The Wingman Foundation, a veteran-founded nonprofit that provides post-mishap support for the Navy and Marine Corps aviation community and the families of fallen air warriors. The 2026 edition takes place Saturday, May 23rd in Pacific Beach, drawing 2,000+ crawlers for a daytime takeover that organizers describe as a "Saturday night vibe under the sun."
This is the first year the crawl moves to Pacific Beach after years in the Gaslamp Quarter. The format transforms PB into one roaming dance floor across six venues: Mavericks, Moonshine Beach, The Beverly, Candy's Boom Boom Room, PB Local, and Firehouse. Top DJs, sing-along moments, and entertainment surprises keep momentum building from stop to stop. Crawlers arrive decked in red, white, and blue — flags, fringe, glitter, and group-themed outfits are the norm.

A few things to know:
- 21+ only. Carry valid physical ID — wristband alone does not guarantee entry.
- No large bags, backpacks, or outside food/drink. Small purses, wallets, and fanny packs are fine.
- Parking is brutal in PB. Meters max out at 2 hours. Organizers strongly recommend Lyft or Uber.
- Doors close 15 minutes into each show at each stop, so don't be late.
