Folsom Street Fair, celebrated as the world's largest leather and kink festival, attracts hundreds of thousands of attendees to honor their diverse sexualities in the heart of SoMa.
The event started in 1984 during the AIDS epidemic, driven by local organizers' desire to promote queer rights and revitalization of the SoMa neighborhood.
At the 2023 fair, approximately 250,000 people attended, enjoying DJs, live performances, kink demonstrations, and a wide array of expressive costumes and nudity.
Folsom Street Fair has transformed perceptions of SoMa, showcasing it as a vibrant community rather than a neglected area, and continues to celebrate sexual expression.
