Mid Atlantic Leather Weekend
The Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend, attracts thousands of guys to some of the best events including Leather Cocktails (the heart of all weekend events) – Sunday brunch and Mr. MAL Contest, a Leather Exhibit Hall and the official closing party, REACTION.
Historic Leather Event with Cocktail Receptions and Sleazy Afterparties!
Started in 1976 as an impromptu cocktail party by a group of Leathermen staying at New York’s Waldorf Astoria, the Mid Atlantic Leather Weekend (MAL for short) grew rapidly and moved to a series of bars in various east coast cities. By the mid-eighties, the contest was introduced and the event became a weekend destination party thrown by the DC based group, the Centaurs. Since then, it has not only grown in reputation but also in size. Thousands of men descend on DC for a weekend of leather themed debauchery.
The Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend (MAL) is a three-day long party and event with participants that now number in the thousands. The heart of the weekend is the historic leather formal Saturday evening cocktail social, Leather Cocktails.
Leather Cocktails is the weekend lynchpin gathering from which all other weekend events evolved. The Weekend also includes official events organised by weekend hosts, Centaur MC, that include a bustling Leather Exhibit Hall; Sunday brunch; Mr. MAL Contest and the official Sunday night closing party.
In addition, Weekend hosts provide space for what has evolved into a huge leather-loving community and affinity annual reunion. Weekend participants may purchase a full weekend package that includes access to all events. Tickets to a few select events are sold separately.
