Time for our annual boogie bliss on the boat!!
Wear your funkiest, trippiest, sexiest selves. Bring your sunscreen. Put your dancing shoes on… because baby, we are going to dance!
Take the journey with us… rising slowly like a phoenix from the Earth’s inner depths
towards the mama-soul of the Universe.
Moving inwards and outwards, in every direction - expanding, extending, regenerating…
like a starfish 𓇼
Moods, emotions, energies ever shifting, ever interchanging. Just like life.
Expect lush, expansive and medicinal sounds,
with a generous touch of ecstatic melancholy and moments of sublime intensity.
All held with intention and an edge by our sonic ambassadors Diana Isi and Aslan Venom and PL’s soul-sailor Othon
Our unique boat is open air with 2 levels and a cover if needed!
THINGS TO KNOW & REMEMBER:
If you’re new here…
PapaLoko is a queer-centred community rooted in respect, care, and deep honouring of one another.
We are especially committed to holding a space where our trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming family feel safe, seen and respected.
This means: no assumptions, no misgendering, no intrusive questions, no “jokes” at someone else’s expense — and no tolerance for any form of discrimination, abusive behaviour, or inappropriate language.
Please take responsibility for the energy you bring, and for how you move within the space.
Awareness and care for one another is essential.
Our boat parties are intimate and limited in capacity, created first and foremost for our close friends and extended community.
Please invite with intention.
Bring people who will truly resonate and who will appreciate the vibe, receive the energy with gratitude, and contribute to it in their own way.
PapaLoko is an energetic exchange.
Let’s keep it soft, open, and respectful!
PHONES & A CALL TO PRESENCE:
Fell free to capture the magic of our journey and the sunset out on the deck.
Once you return to the dancefloor, we ask you to keep your phone in your bag and join us fully in the moment. Some of our crew will be documenting the journey, allowing the rest of us to stay present with the music, the dance and one another. If you see someone on their phone, kindly ask them to put it away.
ENTRY SPECIFICS:
Gathering at Blackfriars Pier from 16:15
Boarding at 16:45
Final entry strictly at 17:00
The boat will sail non-stop and return to the same pier around 21:45–22:00.
Please don’t be late as we won’t be able to wait.
Bring your ID and your most luminous, luscious self.
TICKETS
To keep PapaLoko accessible with boat hire increased, while sustaining what we create together, this year we’re introducing a small range of ticket tiers.
There are a limited number of lower-priced tickets for those who need them (70), alongside standard and supporter options for those who are able to give a little more. All tickets are available from the beginning.
We trust you to choose your ticket with honesty and care.
If you’re in a position to support, your contribution helps someone else be there with us.
This is how we continue - together.
