LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District
The world's first city-recognized LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District
The LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District was proud to be part of the Leather Contingent of the 2025 Pride Parade. Contingent organizer Robert Makowka reported that this was the group’s largest showing in memory. Thanks to the Color Guard, flag and banner carriers, our five Leather Marshals, contingent monitors, and to all the volunteers and marchers.

We are still glowing from the incredible energy and community presence at this year’s Leather Alley, presented by the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District at SF Pride 2025.
From longtime members of the kink and leather community to first-time visitors who came with curiosity and open hearts, thousands of you showed up, engaged, and helped make this year’s Leather Alley one of the most vibrant yet.
Thanks to our amazing volunteers, demo Tops, and support staff, Leather Alley became a welcoming space to explore kink, connect with the community, and learn about our culture, history, and practices. Together, we created an environment that was open, respectful, and alive with possibility.
