Bag Policy
Street events as well as events in bars and other venues will be gated and secured by checkpoints which include a general inspection of bags and backpacks in order to maintain your security and the safety of all participants. Obviously, this process does cause a delay for those who may need to bring a change of gear, clothing or other items with them for use during the event. We do everything possible to provide attendees with access to important resources including a variety of foods, beverages, sunscreen, first-aid items, gear, internet access, recharging stations and restroom facilities so that you can remain as free as possible to enjoy all there is to see and do. We prefer that attendees come bag free, but we realize that is not always practical.
Help us to help you enjoy Leather Pride Week by only bringing the following types and sizes of bags, as outlined in our bag policy.
Transportation Information
Parking is extremely limited in San Francisco’s downtown area, generally, and far more difficult during events around Leather Pride Week. We do not recommend driving to San Francisco’s Leather Week events and instead encourage using public transportation, shuttle services, ride shares, scooters and bikes. We have partnered with UBER to provide attendees who have purchased tickets or travel packages to attend sponsored events with discounted and/or complimentary round-trip, point-to-point transfers to and from their hosted origin. For detailed information, maps and directions on how to get to specific events, visit the transportation section attached to each scheduled event.

Health & Safety
In compliance with the City and County of San Francisco, the festival does not currently have any mandated COVID-19 policies. However, for the safety of everyone, we highly recommend that all attendees are vaccinated and boosted, and we highly encourage everyone to mask up when unable to distance from others. Please note that COVID-19 protocols are subject to change so please make sure to check here before you attend. If you are exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home!
Please Leave Animals and Pets Safely at Home
We know you love your pets and no doubt they love you and want to go with you everywhere you go. However, street fairs, crowded bars and special events during Leather Week are mostly terrifying, noisy and sometimes even dangerous places for any non-upright-walking companion species, regardless of intelligence or temperament. Unless they are capable of flight (i.e., griffons, pegasus, and certain magical unicorns) our four-legged friends can be inadvertently stepped on, kicked, bitten, lost, psychologically tortured and made sick by any number of hazards beyond the control of even the most careful and conscientious people guarding them.
Leather Week is a special place where humans twenty-one years of age and greater can gather and celebrate being socially communal in a consensual, pro-sexual environment. With respect to all other species, however motivated to attend, we ask that you allow your human a little time off the leach so that they may return home to you with good stories to tell, funny pictures to show and tasty treats to share for all the times to come.
