Because I can’t go to FOLSOM 2026 in Berlin I show you what happened last year! 🙂
What is it actually like inside Folsom Europe, the biggest fetish festival in the world? In this video I take you to FOLSOM 2025 through the street fair, the Blue Hour welcome dinner, and one of Berlin’s most legendary parties, PiG at Alte Münze, plus real interviews with people from the leather, rubber, and puppy community from all over the world.
**Quick facts about Folsom Europe Berlin**
Folsom Europe is the largest leather and fetish festival in Europe, inspired by the original Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco. It takes place every September in Berlin’s Schöneberg district, centered on Fuggerstraße and Welserstraße. The street fair is free to enter and runs on donations, with proceeds going to LGBTQ+ and HIV nonprofits. The wider weekend includes parties across the city such as PiG at Alte Münze, Testosterone, and Bear Dance.
**What you will see in this video**
I start the weekend at the Blue Hour meet and eat dinner, where I talk to guests about their fetish, how they got into leather and rubber, and what brings them back to Berlin year after year. From there I put on my first ever piece of rubber and head into the street fair to capture the atmosphere and talk to people from Canada, the Philippines, Italy, the Netherlands, the US, and more. Later that night I take you inside PiG, one of Berlin’s most talked about fetish parties, hosted at Alte Münze, including the line, the VIP experience, and the overall vibe of the party. I close out with my thoughts on Quälgeist, a nonprofit run BDSM and fetish club in Berlin, in case you want to explore beyond Folsom weekend itself.
