VISITORS at our yearly events and community center give a big boost to local businesses such as bars, cafes, retail stores, and restaurants, as well as local leather, sexuality focused, and LGBTQ2S+ businesses. As we’ve grown over the years we have created and maintained an exceptional level of community engagement and volunteer support. Our record attendance in 2025 means our audience is still growing!

Our events raise funds to support both the year-round space for our communities to gather, and our partnership with other nonprofits serving our community. We have raised more than $8 million since our inception in 1984. We’ve built relationships with hundreds of nonprofits and are transforming the way that we engage and work collectively.

The services we offer since founding our center in 2021 include ongoing educational, social, arts and cultural events, serving groups and organizations that otherwise are being priced out of San Francisco. Each partnership is selected for the greatest positive impact.

YOU WON’T FIND MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!

Our legacy in the community, in the city of San Francisco and worldwide, is why we have been able to survive, thrive, and bring our events back stronger than ever. The support from our sponsors is why we’ve been able to establish a YEAR ROUND space for our organization to serve the community and to stay strongly rooted. Celebrating 42 years this year, our annual fair will be legendary as usual! Keep San Francisco - and the whole world - kinky and proud by sponsoring Up Your Alley 2025, Folsom Street Fair 2025, the Folsom Street Community Center, and all the work of the Folsom Street nonprofit.
