At the very heart of the largest most unique leather event on earth you will find us. We are the Women of Folsom Street Fair, frolicking in the tantalizing Venus' Playground. Women come from all over the world in their corsets and stilettos or combat boots, jeans and tank tops. Whether you identify as lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual, transgender or inter-sexed woman, call yourself femme, daddy, boi, sub, domme, baby-dyke, butch-dyke, vampire, femme-dyke, leather-dyke, single, married, polyamorous, diva, andro, vanilla, top, bottom or just plain curious, we welcome you!


Within the women's area, all individuals who identify as female in the past, present or future are welcome.

This is the third year for Venus' Playground, and our area includes:

• Two large tents, including an educational area with awesome demos where you can learn about your favorite kink.
• An enclosed sexy and fully-equipped dungeon where you can indulge your fantasies. What other city in the world would let us raise a dungeon in the middle of the street?
• A sitting area in which to relax.
• A mixed gender reception and educational area for women and their friends of all genders, featuring live Burlesque and demos.

Join a throng of like-minded women who are supportive of one another. Stop by for a visit to meet other leather women, watch the demonstrations, create your own hot scene, or simply rest and refresh. Whether you are turned on by leather, kink, breasts, beatings and/or boots...this is a place for you. Look for us on Ninth Street just north of Folsom! [See Map]
