LeatherWalk 2025
Bring Your Kink. Step Out. Give Back.
OUR STREETS. OUR STORY. OUR STRENGTH.
STAND TOGETHER – GEAR ON
Unity protects us. Walk with us from City Hall to Eagle Plaza to protect our leather, kink, and queer spaces. Enjoy entertainment, music, and refreshment stops along the way.
CELEBRATE COMMUNITY – STEP OUT
Join fellow leather, kink, & queer community members in our joyful celebration ending with a Leather Pride Flag raising: a symbol of visibility and resistance.
SUPPORT THE DISTRICT – GIVE BACK
Walkers are encouraged to fundraise or make a meaningful donation supporting the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District — We exist to ensure there is a lively and vibrant home for our community of events, businesses, bars & organizations in SOMA.
WALK YOUR WAY
Registration is free and open to all — fundraising is welcome, not required. Walk solo or with a team, and know that every step you take helps preserve the spaces, stories, and culture that keep our community thriving.
We will have an ADA vehicle courtesy of Fogcutter Tours for those who cannot walk the entire route. It is hop-on, hop-off at our scheduled stops for those who wish to walk parts of the Walk, but not the entire way. Space is limited; please reserve your spot by emailing Cal at manager@sflcd.org.
