1,000+ participants. Dozens of counties. One incredible celebration of inclusion.

Special Olympics NorCal’s Summer Games brings swimming, track & field, bocce, and tennis athletes together from all corners of Northern California to showcase the power of sport. This flagship event is one where talent shines, and athletes build friendships & confidence—that last far beyond the finish line.

Along with competing on the field, the courts, and in the pool, athletes will have the opportunity to try new demonstration sports, participate in free health screenings, join nightly dance parties, and hang with friends, family, and fans.

From the festive Parade of Athletes to the ceremonial awarding of medals after sports events, Summer Games is a celebration of all abilities and a truly memorable event.
