Up Your Alley! 2021

A fun fetish fair in the Sun – San Francisco Style!

Folsom Street Market

This year the infamous July event needs to stay tied up. Instead come celebrate the middle of summer by shopping at all your favorite vendors at the Folsom Street Market. We’ve all had a rough year, and a little retail therapy with your favorite artists, craftspersons and purveyors of fine toys will have you feeling ready to get back out there! (You’ve got all your shots, right puppy?) Visit the organizations and clubs, pick up a free mask from a Sister, and get a COVID test so that everyone can all stay safe! Book your hotel in advance as the weekend will still attract visitors who want to attend the big night parties. Stay in Soma, close to all the action.

Folsom Street Circuit Parties

While the official Folsom parties will not return until 2022, many of the city’s top promoters are hosting some of the most anticipated parties of the Summer. These include:

• Trophy Dad’s Pride Daddy Alley – Fri July 23rd
• X Rated at Dore Alley – Sat July 24th
• Brut Dore Alley edition – Sat July 24th
• Butch, The After Hours – Sunday July 25th

The Dore Alley Fair

Returns 2022 – The Up Your Alley Fair, most commonly referred to by locals as Dore Alley Fair or simply Dore Alley. This  is a leather and fetish event held in San Francisco, California on the last Sunday of July on Folsom Street between 9th and 10th Streets and on Dore Street from Howard Street to half a block southeast of Folsom Street. The streets are lined with vendors’ booths, and a sound stage (for dancing) is located at the 10th Street end of Folsom Street.

On Dore Alley between Howard and Folsom, continuing on Folsom from 9th to Juniper and the adjoining block of 10th St. San Francisco, CA

Up Your Alley is only for real players – and not for the faint of heart – where leather daddies rule the streets of San Francisco’s South of Market district. Of course, if rubber, sportswear, biker gear, skinheads, punks, or any variety of built, hairy men turns you on, then we’ve got it. You won’t find a filthier event in the States. If you’re into it, there’s a scene for you. So, don’t get left out.

Located in front of the legendary Powerhouse bar, nearly 15,000 fellow leather men and fetish enthusiasts engage in BDSM play at over 50 adult vendor spaces! Spanking, punching, whips and floggers, bondage, domination and submission, creative water-sports, toys and so much more are in full effect.
