Folsom Street Fair 2021
Folsom Street Fair is the biggest leather rubber and fetish fair in the USA, attracting 200,000 fetish lovers from around the world for this outrageous event, with nudity and exhibitionism being the order of the day. At the fair, you will find all manner of leather and fetish gear on sale.
A fun fetish fair in the September Sun – San Francisco Style!
Folsom Street Fair is one of the largest and most famous fetish festivals in North America. Festivities take place along Folsom Street and neighboring blocks (13 blocks in total), from 12th to 7th streets.
Most of the major porn companies are here with their stars for you to meet and photo. All the bars and clubs have parties on during the fair so you will never be short of something to do at night, for more info on the fair and the parties take look at the official website.
Several large circuit parties take place over the weekend of the Folsom Fair to raise proceeds for local charities. The official Magnitude and Deviants party should not be missed, together with the SF Eagle’s Parking Lot Party complete with fairground.
The fair is home to more than 200 community exhibitors and vendors, food and beverage stalls, and throngs of participants mingling, dancing, parading and of course performing. You will find guys wearing all sorts of fetish gear including, leather, rubber, uniforms and jocks – however everyone is welcome, no matter what you wear.
Admission to the fair is free, but to raise money for charity you can pay the suggested admission of $10. If you do pay the admission, you also receive $2 off every drink you purchases.
San Francisco is split into several areas but the main 2 are The Castro and Soma, with Soma being the area the where you will find Folsom Street, and most of the leather and fetish bars. With there being so many gay bars we have had to put 2 maps in and have found hotels for each area that have good reviews.
In the SOMA, we recommend,
InterContinental Hotel, Courtyard by Marriott , Palace Hotel, Hotel Zelos,
In the CASTRO, we recommend, Beck’s Motor Lodge,
