"San Francisco's high holy day of leather and liberation is almost here again, and the 2025 Folsom Street Fair (Sun/28), its 42nd installment, is already buzzing in the city's collective imagination. One can practically hear the basslines bouncing off brick walls and envision the rainbow of bodies pressed together, boots and harnesses gleaming in late-September sun, and a thousand small moments of consent-forward connection happening at once."
"Welcoming visitors is Mocha Fapalatte, a drag artist, kinkster, and community organizer who's determined to make this year feel bigger, better, and more welcoming than ever. Her goal? Turn the gates into a party, stretch the stages wider, and make sure everyone who shows up knows they belong. Fapalatte's path to Folsom wasn't obvious. Referred by Stages & Entertainment co-lead Fawks Gilić, she joined the Folsom Street Events board three years ago and immediately found herself managing a 40th anniversary fashion show at the fair."
48 Hills serves as the exclusive San Francisco media partner for the 42nd Folsom Street Fair with updates at www.48hills.org/folsom-2025. The 2025 Folsom Street Fair occurs Sunday, September 28 and centers leather, kink, and liberation with music, costumes, and consent-forward connections. Mocha Fapalatte, a drag artist, kinkster, and community organizer, aims to make the event bigger, more welcoming, and more active at the gates and stages. Fapalatte joined the Folsom Street Events board after a referral from Fawks Gilić, managed the 40th anniversary fashion show, ran the Gates program while at Old Navy, and became Programs Director in July.
