Folsom Street Events Affiliates
Folsom Europe -
Berlin, Germany
In 2003, Folsom Street Events began discussions with a group of
dedicated and engaged leather men from Germany about the possibility
of taking the ideas, principles and concepts that make Folsom
Street Fair® so successful here in San
Francisco and using them to create a world class leather event
in Berlin. In early 2004 we conculded an agreement with Folsom
Europe e.V. in Berlin.
Folsom Europe premiered in 2004 and will have its eighth event
in Berlin-Schöneberg
on Saturday, September 10, 2011.
From 12:00 noon until 9:00pm Europe's Leather-Fetish scene will
present itself in the
Fuggerstrasse / Welserstrasse area.
They expect 20,000 visitors from all over the world to attend
Europe's biggest leather and fetish event. With fairgrounds directly
adjacent to the new Design-Hotel AXEL, fairgoers can expect a friendly
neighborhood with food and drink stalls, shopping and information booths.
All accompanied by the music of the hippest European DJ's.
At the entrances, the Sister's of Perpetual Indulgence will collect
donations to support Folsom Europe's beneficiaries.
Folsom Street Events is proud to have Folsom Europe e.V.
in our Affiliates program.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence -
San Francisco, California
Folsom Street Events is proud to once again partner with
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence this year. Their assistance
with both the infamous Up Your Alley fair and the
Folsom Street Fair is especially
fabulous, as it marks the 27th Folsom Street Fair and the 18th
anniversary of the Sisters' relationship with the us.
The Sisters will, once again, act as "Door Divas" for the fairs
at which we hope to help raise even more money than last year's
record gate donations.
The Sisters are a community partner, providing volunteer
training as well as coordinating and managing the gate volunteers on
the fair day. Additionally, the Sisters work the gates - and
the crowds - with a trademark style and flair. Along with the joy
that comes from serving the community, the Sisters receive a portion of
the donations collected at the gates. The money received from Folsom
Street Events is put into the Sisters' Grant Fund and is distributed
to worthy community service organizations at the end of the year and
during their Anniversary Celebration on Easter Sunday. 100% of the
donations collected at the gates at both Fairs go back to the community.
The Sisters work so well with Folsom Street Events because
we embrace the Sisters' philosophy of having fun while
serving the community. When you add in the fact that our events are
also celebrations of alternative lifestyles, it's easy to see why the
Sisters and Folsom Street Events work (and play) so well together.
"This is my sixth year managing the Sisters' relationship with Folsom
Street Events and it just keeps getting bigger and better each year,"
said Sister Edith Myflesh, Current Abbess of the Sisters of Perpetual
Indulgence, Inc. "The Sisters and the Fairs are both such 'only in
San Francisco' entities that it wouldn't be right to have one without
the other."
