2026 “Up Your Alley / Dore Alley” Street Fair & Fetish Festival (SF)

Gooch

This is no indie hipster fair with hand-knit scarves and folk music… If rubber, sportswear, biker gear, punks, or any variety of built, hairy men turns you on, then they’ve got it. In their own words, you won’t find a filthier event in the States. Up Your Alley is only for real players – and not for the faint of heart – where leather daddies rule the streets of SoMa.

Basically, if you’re into it, there’s probably a scene for you.

Up Your Alley typically features DJs, gogo dancers and bondage & kink performers plus you can cruise 40+ “adult” vendors selling all sorts of gear – whips, leather, kilts, and more.

Who goes to the Up Your Alley Fair?
Usually, around 15,000 leather men and fetish enthusiasts attend, making it a smaller, but more local event (read: fewer tourists) than the Folsom Street Fair. Attendees of Up Your Alley are almost exclusively male, mostly gay, into hardcore and BDSM, while Folsom is the more pansexual, gender-diverse fair.
