To our fabulous sponsors: thanks for backing us up… and keeping our community looking fierce and filthy!
In 2004 Folsom Europe e.V. held its first street fair FOLSOM EUROPE on Fuggerstr./Welserstr. in Berlin-Schöneberg with 3,500 queer visitors from Europe and North America. This year we expect 25,000 visitors from six continents visiting the largest leather and fetish event in Europe celebrating its 22nd edition.
Our Berlin street fair will take place on Saturday, August 30th from 12:00 until 22:00.
On Fuggerstr. you will find our main stage powered by Darklands and recon, on Welserstr. Beside of the stages we will have dozens of leather and fetish vendors, beer and cocktail booths, food trucks, bootblacks, barbers, lockers and information spots.
The calendar can be found in our pocket guide (printed version), online or in our
Folsom Europe App.
During the week there will be six OFFICIAL FOLSOM PARTIES:
ADAM, BEAR DANCE FOLSOM, TESTOSTERONE, PIG, ANIMALZ and RECON BERLIN.
We are proud that RECON BERLIN is now also part of our official parties.
We are starting our week with the Melbourne-based ADAM party on Thursday night.
The classic leather & BLUF guys will come together at TESTOSTERONE on Friday night where they find boot blacks, a courtyard for enjoying their cigars and a large dance floor as well.
The bears and dance crowd will meet at BEAR DANCE FOLSOM the same night.
Our signature party PIG will take place after the fair as every year. More than 3,000 guys will come together to celebrate the 21st anniversary of our own party as well. If you feel like unleashing your wild side check out our ANIMALZ party at metropol on Saturday for all the pups, furries and kinksters
And we will finish our parties with RECON BERLIN as our closing party on Sunday.
Beside of the official parties we offer lots of small and big parties at bars, a classic concert, three sightseeing busses and a boat tour.

Puppies and furries are on the rise — and we love to see it!
FOLSOM EUROPE has welcomed more playful tails and furry faces than ever before. What started as a niche is now a full-blown part of the scene, bringing fresh energy and fun to the streets of Berlin.
This year, you can look forward to bar events, a joyful puppy walk, the legendary Puppy Games on Sunday at prideArt@theKnast, and our Puppy Sightseeing Bus rolling through the city on Friday at noon — right alongside the leather and fetish tours.
And for those who love to play and dance, the ANIMALZ party is calling all pups to the floor.
Get your puppy bus ticket here and join the fun!

FOLSOM EUROPE wouldn’t be what it is without our incredible volunteers.
Since 2004, they’ve been the heart and hands behind the scenes — welcoming guests, running events, and keeping the energy high. But who are they, really? From longtime kinksters to first-timers, from locals to folks flying in just to help out… our volunteer family is as diverse and vibrant as the community itself.
Want to meet them? You probably already
have.
After 19 years our club and event FOLSOM EUROPE finally started an online shop where you can purchase lots of cool products with exclusive fetish designs.
Many friends of all kinds of fetishes are visiting FOLSOM EUROPE 2024. They make us the No. 1 event in Europe. And they are one the faces of our street fair and of our community as well. See all pictures from 2023 and the previous years in our gallery!
The board of Folsom Europe e.V. is including three members at the moment. The experienced board members are doing the volunteering job for multiple years already and are responsible for the planning and organization of all official events during the FOLSOM EUROPE weekend as well as the public relations and advertising in advance. Once a year all members of the club are meeting at the general assembly where they make the principal decisions. The board is supported by one employee at the office.
