We Are Back & Kinkier Than Ever
FETISH GRAS WEEKEND
Fetish Gras has become a staple in San Diego’s queer nightlife—where Mardi Gras meets leather, lace, and unapologetic kink.
Now celebrating its 5th anniversary, the only Fetish Mardi Gras celebration in the U.S. returns President’s Day Weekend, which aligns perfectly with Mardi Gras Weekend in 2026.
This year, we’re teaming up again with the powerhouse GEAR XL, and we’re going bigger than ever—
Think immersive, over-the-top set design, provocative fetish demos, and interactive experiences that make you part of the story.
We’re also working toward something historic: San Diego’s first-ever Leather Street Fair, coming to life in the heart of Hillcrest.
With three official parties (and more surprises still brewing), Fetish Gras 2026 promises to be a full-on kink carnival like no other.
The Legacy of Fetish Gras
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.
Our Colors...Our Code
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.
This Is More Than a Party It’s a Movement
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 2025, we welcomed 1,000+ attendees across three days.
In 2026, we aim higher—with the first-ever leather street fair in San Diego history.
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 5th anniversary of a growing legacy.
