Folsom Street Fair

The Folsom Street Fair is the largest and most well-known leather and fetish street festival in the world. On a Sunday in September, several blocks in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood are transformed into a huge open-air hangout for the kink community.

Behind the revealing façade is a strong community idea. The festival collects for charitable purposes and thrives on mutual respect and consent. If you are a beginner, the following applies: look, be amazed, respect limits - there is no pressure.
