Folsom Street Fair 2026

Folsom Street Fair 2026 takes place on Sunday 27 September 2026 from 11:00 to 18:00, taking over thirteen blocks of San Francisco's SOMA district along Folsom Street between 7th and 12th streets. Now in its 42nd year, the fair is the largest leather and kink event in the world and the closing centrepiece of San Francisco's Leather Pride season.

The fair fills the street with leather and fetish gear, live entertainment across multiple stages, dance areas, and hundreds of vendors and community organisations from the leather, kink and alternative sexuality communities. It draws visitors from across the United States and internationally, and its scale and openness have made it a landmark in global fetish culture rather than simply a local street party.

Entry is free, with a suggested donation collected at the gate — proceeds support the charitable beneficiaries of Folsom Street Events, the non-profit that produces the fair. The event is outdoors and open to adults, and a strict consent culture is central to how it is run. SOMA is well served by BART and Muni, with Powell Street and Civic Center stations a short walk from the fair boundary.
