Leather Alley at Pride 2024

San Francisco Pride and Folsom Street will join forces to present The Root of Pride, the Adults Only area for the 2024 Beacon of Love Celebration.

The San Francisco Bay Area Leather Alliance is back with Leather Alley — a walled off area within that adults-only section of Pride.

On Saturday, from about 1 to 5 pm, the space will be called Leather Alley is Lit and it will feature erotic readings curated by LCD’s Erotic Storytelling Hour & Sumiko Saulson.

On Sunday June 30, 2024, from noon to 6 pm, Leather Alley will feature demos and performers, in a full range of kink and BDSM areas, on the Leather Alley Stage.  Also visit the booths presented by the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District, the Exiles. the K-9 Unit, BOBA Munch, Plura, Wicked Grounds, the Yellow and Black Group, After Dark Events, PlayxLand, and the Society of Janus.

Come get information, pose for pictures, bottom for our House Tops, acquire your own rope harness, contribute to the piss pool, and much more.

Bootblacks will also be on duty both days, to keep your leathers shiny and soft.

Leather Alley is the Alliance’s biggest fundraiser, helping them to provide grants to help those in the leather community impacted by illness or injury, and to produce the Mr. and Mx. San Francisco Leather contests.  The Alley also helps educate and entertain a broader Pride audience.

Volunteers are still needed to work shifts on both Saturday and Sunday.  Please sign up on the Leather Alley Volunteer Signup Sheet, check out the Leather Alliance Facebook page or the Leather Alley page,  or contact Al or Rio.

NOTE:  
The LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District
will have an information table

and a kinky photo booth inside Leather Alley!
We will need volunteers for that!

Thank you to “Narcan Queen” Kochina for another life-saving and engaging training, Ryan Patrick Welsh for a dynamic performance, and the amazing staff of Oasis (Carissa/Snaxx, Icarus at the bar, Aaron on tech, Will at the door). The training was made possible by a generous grant from the Success Centers.
