Folsom Street Fair 2026

The 43rd Annual

Folsom Street Fair

Sunday, September 27 | Folsom St. | Free

43 YEARS OF BRINGING YOU the famously infamous street fair that draws in leather/kink/alt-sex community from around the world. We’re well into our daddy/mommy phase so be good for us and come in all your gear or none at all as we take the streets with our deliciously weird and wonderful fair!

Our Mission

Folsom Street is committed to cultivating a safe, open, and inclusive environment for the kink, leather, and alternative sexuality communities while centering equity for BIPOC and LGBTQA2I+ people in our work. We are rooted historically in the fight against gentrification and displacement both here in San Francisco, on unceded Ohlone land, and worldwide. We unite, strengthen, and affirm the community through support, resources, education, advocacy, visibility, and celebration. We are dedicated to sexual liberation and the right to pleasure as a crucial part of the whole liberation movement.

Folsom Street is an explicitly anti-racist organization and we are committed to decolonizing our practices. We welcome feedback and guidance from our communities.

Sex work is work

The body is not an apology
