Folsom Street Fair: The Ultimate LGBTQ+ Travel Guide to SF's Most Controversial Event
Our complete guide to Folsom is out!
Darlings, Folsom Street Fair is more than just a day of debauchery (though it's certainly that, too). It's a celebration of sexual freedom, a testament to the power of community, and a chance to explore sides of yourself you might never have known existed.
And it’s coming up fast!
There's still time to be part of this year's leather-clad love fest, so start planning your trip now. Book that flight, snag that hotel room, and get ready for a weekend you'll never forget (even if you might not remember all the details).
Check out our full guide here including the fascinating history of the event, what to expect, insider tips, tricks, and more.
Imagine the fake controversy if this ran today 😂
And if you can’t get there, you might want to consider Folsom's naughty little sister: Dore Alley. While Folsom might be the main event, many prefer this more “intimate” affair in July. All the kink, half the tourists!
These cannabis gummies keep selling out in 2024
If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That’s why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.
Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a “joint within a gummy” that’s extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body’s endocannabinoid system.
Although this system was discovered in the 1990’s, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies. Just 1 of their rapid onset THC gummies can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!
Q&A Time:
Last week we asked, how many tabs do you open before booking a trip? Here are the results:
Not a single person will cop to opening more than 100! I have 22 open right now and I’m not even actively planning to book a trip. Anyway…
“It would be hundreds except my tidy boyfriend deletes them”
“Does it count if I keep them open for weeks and then don’t book the trip?”
“Maybe I’m missing something but I’m going to start broadening my search”
This week we want to know: have you ever been to Folsom?
