The Street Fair
The Folsom Street Fair is the world's premier leather and kink event — a massive outdoor street fair that closes multiple blocks of Folsom Street in San Francisco's SoMa neighbourhood. Founded in 1984, it is the third-largest event in California and the largest leather event in the world, drawing over 250,000 attendees.
The Experience
The street fair features dozens of vendor booths selling leather, latex, and fetish gear; multiple stages with live performances; community organisations; and a remarkable atmosphere of freedom and acceptance. Dress code is leather, kink, or fetish — the more creative the better.
The Surrounding Weekend
Folsom weekend in San Francisco is a city-wide celebration. The weeks around the fair are packed with leather and fetish events, club nights, and parties across the city. The Eagle SF, Powerhouse, and other SoMa leather bars are the social hubs.
