Leather Week with Wicked Grounds! (9/25 – 10/5)
September 24, 2025Hello kinksters – First, I want to warmly thank everyone who supported our LeatherWalk 2025 team. With your support, we exceeded our modest fundraising goals for the Leather & LGBTQ Cultural District and were the second-highest fundraising team. Go you!!! Well done! We are so excited about Folsom Street Fair this weekend! If you’re in San Francisco, keep up with our events listing on FetLife for the evolving details. We have several instructors offering meet & greet sessions, our coaches on hand to help you get started answering your own kink questions, and lots of great prizes to win. Come on by! (Love what we do? Want to leave a tip? You can do that right here!) We could use a few people to help us chat with kinksters at the booth, so if you’re already familiar with Wicked Grounds and interested in helping, please drop us a note on FetLife or email Mir at WickedGrounds.com. But Folsom isn’t the only thing going on! We have plenty of online and in-person classes to keep your kink creativity flowing not just during Leather Week but all year.
