Folsom’s Big Muscle Party takes place on Saturday afternoon during the Folsom Street Fair Weekend
Folsom’s Big Muscle Party takes place on Saturday afternoon during the Folsom Street Fair Weekend and brings together the biggest guys and muscle worshipers for one of the most-talked-about parties of the entire event.
- Book your stay well in advance as people start planning the moment the last event ends as there are just 31 hotels in Soma, the home of the fair.
The Party
- The Big Muscle Party benefits San Francisco’s Positive Resource Center (PRC), ad advocacy and legal assistance non profit group.
- The party kicks off at 1pm and continues through to 6pm and takes place in the DNA Lounge. The venue is huge, so there is plenty of space, but the party fills up fast.
- Enjoy the large dance floor and if it all gets too much muscle for you, head to the balcony area with different music and more bar space.
- Grab a photo at the official both as a memento of your Folsom escapades and if you are hungry, take a trip to the DNA Pizza stand. This party has everything covered! There is even an outdoor space to smoke.
- Stay at the San Francisco Proper, a design hotel, just under 1km from the DNA Lounge for the ultimate San Francisco hotel experience.

- DNA Lounge has been one of San Francisco’s most popular nightclubs since 1985. Featuring two stages, four dance floors, seven bars and a full-service late-night restaurant and café.
