Thank you to everyone who attended the 25th Folsom Street East festival! We hope you enjoyed each other’s company, the myriad of vendors, food, the water from our sponsor Ovest Pizzoteca & Bar by Luzzo's and the performances by the talented and creative roster of kinksters who took the stage. A special thank you goes out to the team of volunteers who pushed through the weather to run the festival on Sunday! Everyone involved in planning and operating FSE volunteers their time in the spirit of community and charity. Thanks to all of the community groups who gather year-round to hold space and introduce people to the scene, and to the bootblacks who hold so much knowledge about caring for our gear. Folsom Street East would also like to thank our Gold Level Sponsor: ViiV Healthcare and our Bronze Level Sponsors: Bozanian Mcgregor, FT Grunt and or their support. Finally, thank you to the archangel of FSE, Dale. ⛱️
