Folsom St between 8th & 13th St, San Francisco, CA 94103, United StatesFolsom Street Fair closes out San Francisco's Leather Pride Week and is billed by its organizers as the world's largest leather and fetish event. Held every year on the last Sunday of September, it takes over 13 blocks of Folsom Street in SoMa — between 8th and 13th — with gear vendors, community and kink exhibitors, multiple DJ and performance stages, and a crowd estimated in the hundreds of thousands. In 2026 it runs Sunday, September 27, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Entry is free with a suggested $10–$20 gate donation (donating earns a sticker good for drink discounts inside); net proceeds go to Bay Area public-health, human-services and arts nonprofits.
