Dore Alley Preview: Top Leather Parties Return, But Hard Limits Will Apply
The Dore Alley scene will switch to a “Mask mandatory, pants optional” Folsom Street Market (where you can get vaccinated!), but plenty of other leather parties are bearing down this weekend, too.
There’s a new holy trinity of late summer San Francisco leather events, but things are obviously bound to look different under COVID-19.
