Up Your (Dore) Alley Gay Cruisin’ Guide 2023

It’s Mid-Summer in July and you pigs know what that means. Yes, it’s Up Your (Dore) Alley in San Francisco and the parties are underway and lead up to the main event Up Your Alley hosted by the infamous Folsom Street Events company. This is THEE event to attend if you have never been to a leather/fetish gear street fair especially for beginners and hedonist-seekers. This event will prepare you for Folsom Street Fair in late September.

Below I have listed the events and parties happening at various bars, nightclubs and private locations. The links to parties are enclosed on titles, images and host(s). So click on the links for more details. Also be sure to check out our weekly cruising for sex (here) and sex(play) parties (here) in San Francisco for additional parties happening this week and weekend.
