Description

The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) Historical Society and Folsom Street Events™ are celebrating 25 years of the Folsom Street Fair with a new exhibit at the GLBT Historical Society. A special "Leather Week" reception on Thursday September 25 at 6pm.

More than 400,000 people are expected to attend this year’s Folsom Street Fair, according to Andy Copper, Folsom Street Events™ Board President. Martin Meeker, a member of the GLBT Historical Society’s board, and co-curator of the exhibit, says, “the Folsom Street Fair is a unique event. It began as a neighborhood event, but has since become the largest leather/fetish event in the world, bringing together people of all different nationalities, genders and sexual orientations in a celebration of sexual freedom and self expression.”

This year’s exhibit at the GLBT Historical Society will chronicle the organization’s evolution from a small, underground gathering to largest leather/fetish event in the world and the third largest, single-day outdoor event in California. “We are thrilled to celebrate our 25th Fair with style and a week’s worth of truly outstanding events and programs. This exhibit is a great addition to our annual event,” says Jacob Richards, Folsom Street Board VP and exhibit co-curator.
