If you’re new to San Francisco or just visiting for a few days and looking for kinky events or locales to meet people, this is the page for you! Erobay is a great place to start to see if there are events happening while you’re in town.

• PlayXLand at Cat Club happens every Wednesday night
• The Release play party happens monthly, so check the calendar to see if it’s happening while you’re around
• Society of Janus hosts monthly play parties at Stopgap
• Stopgap has weekly “open dungeon” events, these typically don’t have a lot of cruising/pick-up-play going on, but they’re a good place to go with a partner

You may have been lucky enough (or smart enough) to end up in San Francisco at the same time as one of our world-famous kink festivals.

• Visiting in late June? Look for Leather Alley at the San Francisco Pride Celebration
• Late July? Check out the Up Your Alley fair
• End of September? Go to Folsom St Fair

• Society of Janus
• The Exiles (lesbian group)
• ELSE (non-cisgender group)
