Folsom Street Events is the San Francisco non-profit behind the Folsom Street Fair, the largest leather and kink event in the world and the centrepiece of the city's Leather Pride season. The organisation describes itself as "a registered non-profit that unites the leather, kink, and alt sex communities with safe, consent-focused spaces for self expression", and states its commitment to "cultivating a safe, open, and inclusive environment for the kink, leather, and alternative sexuality communities".

Its flagship event takes over thirteen blocks of Folsom Street and the surrounding SOMA district each September, drawing visitors from around the world for a single day of leather, fetish and alternative sexuality culture in the open air. The fair is free to attend, funded by donations collected at the gate, with proceeds distributed to charitable beneficiaries.

The organisation runs a wider programme across San Francisco's Leather Pride season beyond the street fair itself, including evening events tied to the fair weekend. Browse our EroticAdvisor guide for edition dates, what to expect, and San Francisco venue listings to complete your visit.
