The Folsom Street Fair is almost here, and that means it's time to prepare your bondage looks for the world's biggest leather event. The festival is Sunday, September 27th, from 11am to 6pm on Folsom between 8th and13th Streets—so you only have a few days to get ready. Hit up one of the stores in our handy map, or wait until the weekend to shop over 200 fetish gear vendors at the fair. (Warning: Links on this map are mostly NSFW, so if you want to click during the day, consider decamping from the office to Wicked Grounds.)

The local consensus is that everyone needs to go to the Folsom Street Fair at least once; even if it's not your scene, it will give you the requisite tale to prove your SF street cred.
