Dore Alley 2026 — officially Up Your Alley Fair — takes over Dore Street in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood July 24 through July 26, with the headline street fair landing Sunday July 26. Folsom Street Fair's smaller, sweatier, locals' weekend: full leather, full kink, full bear, full fetish, full queer SF. The Eagle SF, Powerhouse, Lone Star Saloon, and Stud spin-offs running back-to-back from Friday night through Sunday recovery brunch.
Gaytherings is rounding up every Dore Alley weekend event we can verify — the official street fair itself, the leather and kink parties (Mr. S Leather throwdowns, harness nights, puppy play munches, daddy/boy mixers), the bear runs, the fetish dress codes, the after-hours, the recovery brunches. SoMa from Friday gate-open to Sunday teardown — filter by community to find your crowd.
Whether you're already in SoMa, flying in from LA / Berlin / Amsterdam for the leather circuit, or treating Dore Alley as the dress rehearsal before Folsom in September, here's everything happening across Up Your Alley weekend 2026.
