Fetish Gras has become a staple in San Diego’s queer nightlife—where Mardi Gras meets leather, lace, and unapologetic kink.
Now celebrating 6th Year, the only Fetish Mardi Gras celebration in the U.S. returns President’s Day Weekend 2027
This year, we’re teaming up again with the powerhouse GEAR XL and San Diego's biggest Pup Social, PAWS OUT, To expand our ever growing community.
Think immersive, over-the-top set design, provocative fetish demos, and interactive experiences that make you part of the story.
With 5 official events (and more surprises still brewing), Fetish Gras 2027 promises to be a full-on kink carnival like no other.

What began as a wild idea—to blend the sensual chaos of Mardi Gras with the raw, expressive power of queer fetish culture—has become something so much more.
Fetish Gras Weekend started as a single-night celebration and has evolved into a 3-day gathering of exploration, expression, and community. Over the years, it’s grown into a landmark for the LGBTQ+ kink world—a space where you don’t have to explain your desires, only express them.
In San Diego, a city steeped in leather history, Fetish Gras now carries a legacy of visibility, artistry, and unapologetic joy. It’s not just about parties—though the parties are unforgettable—it’s about creating a home for those who live on the edge of convention.

Like Mardi Gras, Fetish Gras flies its own set of colors—but these aren't just for show.
🟣 Purple – Exploration
A color of curiosity and courage. It honors the journey of discovering new sides of yourself, your desires, and your identity.
🟢 Green – Expression
A celebration of boldness. Green represents the fearless act of showing up, dressing up, and standing out. This is your signal to be seen.
🟡 Yellow – Community
The heart of Fetish Gras. Yellow is warmth, welcome, and connection. It binds us together and reminds us that we’re never alone in the shadows.
Together, these colors form a spectrum of what it means to live fully and freely—in gear, in glitter, and in truth.

Fetish Gras Weekend isn’t just San Diego’s boldest queer event—it’s a gathering of the unapologetic, a destination for leather lovers, nightlife visionaries, and kink-curious explorers from across the country.
In 2026, we welcomed 1,000+ attendees across three days.
In 2027, we aim even higher!
This is where community meets spectacle.
Where sponsors reach a loyal, passionate crowd.
Where out-of-towners discover a weekend that feels like home—and leaves them changed.
Come for the party. Stay for the people.
Be part of the 6th anniversary of a growing legacy.
