Since 1997, Folsom Street East celebrates and inspires participation and pride in fetish, kink, and LGBTQIA+ communities through the creation of safe spaces for public expression of our sexual identities. The Folsom Street East festival has become an annual highlight of the global fetish/kink calendar as a sex and body-positive shared space on the streets of New York City. Folsom Street East envisions a world where sexual self-discovery and fulfillment are supported by a safe and affirming environment. Access to diverse fetish/kink community spaces is expanded, and fear of stigma and negative repercussions is diminished. People are empowered to challenge sexual norms and add to a broad spectrum of sexual identities and expressions. This year’s theme is “Bound Together”. The Street will once again be lined with some 50 community groups and vendors that appeal to the LGBTQIA+ and the kink communities. A one-stop shop for fetish/kink gear, porn and toys.
Folsom Street East is proud to honor this year’s beneficiaries:
