Folsom Street – the organization that produces the Folsom Street Fair and the Up Your Alley Street Fair – is in the process of relocating its operations into a new facility.
The new Folsom Street Community Center will be located at 1286 Folsom Street, adjacent to the Azúcar Lounge, near 9th Street, right in the heart of the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District.
The new space is about 2500 square feet, slightly larger than their old digs on 9th Street. The ground floor features a spacious central area with a handsome new floor, high ceilings, ADA facility, and a roll-up garage entry that can open directly onto the footprint of the Fairs.
Additional upstairs office space will be used by the Austin Law Group and TASHRA (The Alternative Sexualities Health Research Alliance), providing for both the legal and mental health needs of our community.
The new space will be available for meetings, munches, parties, classes, and other events as soon as January, with a grand opening anticipated in mid-February. Several organizations have already booked events there, including the Young Leathermen’s Discussion Group, the Society of Janus, Boba Munch, the Yellow and Black Group, and the SF Canine Unit.
Our entire community welcomes this exciting addition to the Cultural District footprint.
