You won’t find a kinkier, filthier, leather, fetish & BDSM event in the States.

This is no indie hipster fair with hand-knit scarves and folk music… If rubber, sportswear, biker gear, skinheads, 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.

Who goes to the Up Your Alley Fair? Usually, around 15,000 leather folk 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.
