Claw Los Angeles, The LA Leather Getaway 2024
Claw is the leading leather party and includes more than 250 events and exhibitors and hosts parties in Cleveland and Los Angeles.
The Event
- While the “big daddy” of CLAW parties takes place in Cleveland, the Claw Los Angeles gay event is definitely a close second as several thousand guys come to visit the city of Angels for a weekend of leather and fetish fun. It has now become a Thanksgiving tradition, returning for another year.
The Host Hotel
- 2024 Host Hotel to be confirmed – The Westin Bonaventure is the host hotel for the event, located in Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) and is home to several of the major parties throughout the weekend. The hotel sells out fast. The following hotels are close by and are great alternatives (some offer even a higher level of amenities).
- CitizenM Los Angeles Downtown – 4 star hotel rated “Fabulous” by guests with stylish decor and great breakfast options. 3 minutes drive or 15 minute walk to the host hotel.
- InterContinental Downtown – Our favourite hotel in DTLA offering epic views and a heated rooftop pool. 1 minute drive or 7 minutes walk to the host hotel.
The Parties
We await the 2024 line-up, however most of the following events are expected to return:
- The opening night highlight will be the Hotel California Party from 9pm taking place in Rotating Bar on 34th Floor of the host hotel.
- Don’t miss the Leather Family Thanksgiving Dinner on Thursday and the After Dinner Cigar Party. Follow dinner with the popular L.A. Bar Crawl from 9pm to 2am. It is a Leather Community Tradition. Transportation is provided and the tour will continue each night during the event.
- Friday’s highlights include The BLUF Dinner, The MOSH Event, a party for Pups to Play and the Hercules Party a BDSM play party for guys.
- Saturday is the big night featuring the Titleholders’ Cocktail Party and the International Leather Family Dinner. Events end with the Furball Party.
- Finally on Sunday CLAW will present a Leather Hall of Fame brunch and induction ceremony. Later on that evening, don’t miss the Kinky Kabaret.
