Folsom Europe 2026

Folsom Europe is the continent's biggest leather and fetish gathering, a Berlin institution held each September in the Schöneberg district around Motzstraße and Fuggerstraße. The 2026 edition is the 23rd and draws tens of thousands of fetish enthusiasts from around the world.

The centrepiece is the open-air street fair on Fuggerstraße and Welserstraße, where stalls, stages, DJs and a crowd in full leather, rubber and gear fill the streets. Around it runs a full weekend of official parties, among them the PiG party, BearDance, Testosterone and the Recon closing event, plus boat tours, community workshops and the puppy walk.

Entry to the street fair is free, with a donation collected at the gates for good causes. It is dress-code territory, but the fair itself is open to spectators and curious first-timers.
