Event Details

Love is in the air… or is it the smell of the evil marketer? Don’t waste your money on mass-produced and non-creative gifts. Instead, come shop unique gifts for yourself and your kinky loved ones at the South Bay LGBTQ+ & Leather Market Fair — The Forbidden Market ✨

We will be brimming with talented artisans and creators from the Bay Area, along with your friendly neighborhood kink event organization! And a Flea Market section to either vend your pre-loved items or embark on a treasure hunt for your new favorite toys/outfit!
