Maspalomas Fetish Pride runs from 1 to 12 October 2026 in the south of Gran Canaria. The event's own site describes it as one of Europe's biggest get-togethers for men into gear and marks fourteen years of the festival. The programme is built around leather, rubber, puppy, uniform, sportswear, skins and punks.
The days belong to the pools and the nights to the Yumbo Centre. Basement Studios on Avenida de Estados Unidos opens the week with a pool party on 1 October and closes it on 11 October, fifteen euros on the door each time. Tropical la Zona holds the sportswear pool party on 5 October and the big pool party on 10 October at twenty euros. After dark the week moves through WunderBar, Tom's Cruising Bar, Junior, Mardi Gras Bar, Noxon Fetish Club, The Factory and Club Kiki, with an afternoon at Sauna Enjoy Maspalomas on 3 October.
A good part of the programme costs nothing. The meet and greet at WunderBar on 2 October, the puppy pub crawl at Junior and the puppy social at WunderBar on 5 October, the rubber against leather night at Noxon on 9 October and the leather social run by Folsom Europe on 11 October are all free to attend. The club nights at Club Kiki are fifteen euros online or twenty on the door with a drink included. The excursions cost the most: the puppy and handler boat party on 6 October is sixty-five euros and the fetish and wine trip into the mountains on the same day is ninety.
The set piece of the week is the election of Mr Fetish Europe 2026 at Club Kiki, which begins on the evening of 4 October and runs into the early hours of the 5th. The jury interviews take place at Tom's Cruising Bar on 2 October and are free to watch.
Two things are worth knowing before booking. The last events on the calendar run into the morning of 12 October, and the organisers give the 12th as the closing date, so a flight home on the 11th misses the final night. And the programme calendar is filled in as venues confirm, which means an entry that is missing today may appear next week.
Gran Canaria is part of Spain, and the legal position for same-sex couples and trans travellers is the same as on the mainland. Our Spain country page sets it out, and the resorts and bars around the Yumbo are listed under Maspalomas.
