Folsom Street Fair (FSF) is an annual BDSM and leather subculture street fair, held in September that concludes San Francisco's "Leather Pride Week". The Folsom Street Fair, sometimes referred to simply as "Folsom", takes place on the last Sunday in September, on Folsom Street between 8th and 13th Streets, in San Francisco's South of Market district.
A mixture of kink and leather subcultures mix at the festival. The man on the right may be into uniform and military attire, while the other fair-goers seem to be interested in animal roleplay, including a bare-chested "rider" with his "pony".
