Leather Legacy Landmarks – Sidewalk Plaques

Community members can support the District’s Leather Legacy Landmarks initiative to install sidewalk plaques at 77 iconic and sometimes raucous SOMA locations, honoring businesses and venues that began serving our community in the 1960s. We have a goal of raising $22,000 to install the first 17 plaques, all on Folsom Street. Your support gets us one step closer to reaching this goal. Thank You! https://www.sfleatherdistrict.org/plaques

The world’s first LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District exists to ensure there is a lively and vibrant home for our community’s events, businesses, bars and organizations in SOMA, in short, we’re keeping SOMA kinky and queer.

We celebrate, preserve, and promote the rich history and vibrant culture of our leather, kink, and LGBTQ communities while fostering a safe, creative, and inclusive environment for all.

We partner with local businesses and organizations to support cultural events, advocate for community needs, and enhance neighborhood vitality. Through strategic initiatives and public engagement, we ensure that the unique heritage and contributions of our communities continue to thrive and inspire future generations.
