This gathering is centered on queer, trans, and BIPOC folks.
About This Event: San Francisco Pride weekend is full of incredible celebrations, and we are so glad for every single one. If you have the means to support the many talented promoters, performers, and organizers throwing parties this weekend, please do. That community deserves your presence and your dollars. This event exists alongside all of that, not instead of it.
This event is FREE! As in F*CK CAPITALISM! QUEER as in F*CK YOU!
It is designed for queer, trans, and BIPOC folks and their allies, and for anyone who simply wants somewhere to be with community for a while. Somewhere that doesn't ask anything of your wallet to walk through the door (except for your I.D., of course. This event is 18+)
Kinksters, leather folk, drag artists, rope nerds, newbies, and wanderers all welcome.
If you don't identify as part of our community, please bring a queer or trans buddy.

Come from the march and land somewhere soft. Low lights. Vibey music. Easy conversation. This is not a rager with booming bass.
If you've been curious about this space, now is the time to come check it out. Built on the legacy of Kink.com and rooted in the heart of SoMa's Leather Cultural District, The Kink Store SF is a 4,500 square foot queer and kink-positive venue at 224 6th Street.

The only requirements to attend are to register online before you walk through the door and to read our full Code of Conduct and Covid Safer Play guidelines (bottom of event description).
