Pickleball Palooza

  • Dill Dinkers 4942 Boiling Brook Parkway North Bethesda, MD, 20852 United States (map)

Pickleball Palooza…Where pickleball meets girlfriends and good vibes.

Join us for the 2nd Annual Pickleball Palooza — a feel-good day on the courts for midlife women ages 45–65 who are looking for laughter, connection, and a fun way to spend the day with other amazing women.

This year’s event is proudly partnered with Teach Give Inspire Fridays (TGIF) and all proceeds of this event benefits So What Else?, supporting their important work in our community.

Whether you’re brand new to the game or ready to rally, expect laughter, connection, encouragement, and the kind of energy that makes you want to stay long after the last point is played.

No matter your level of pickleball prowess, there is something for everyone at Pickleball Palooza.
