Oklahoma LeatherFest

Oklahoma LeatherFest is an annual educational and community-focused event for the leather and kink community, emphasizing inclusivity for BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ individuals. Typically held in early June, this event offers a comprehensive program designed to educate, connect, and celebrate within the leather and BDSM subcultures. It aims to provide a safe and affirming space for participants to explore their interests, learn from experienced members of the community, and engage in various activities.

The festival usually features over 30 educational sessions covering a wide range of topics relevant to leather and kink lifestyles, including consent, safer sex practices, and community history. Attendees can expect a vendor expo showcasing leather goods and fetish wear, a leather gala, and dedicated spaces like a dungeon (referred to as Papi's Pain Palace), bootblack services, and specialized tracks for different interests such as littles and pony play. The event also includes a silent auction and charity fundraising components.

Oklahoma LeatherFest is typically hosted at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Oklahoma City. While specific dates for future years are confirmed closer to the event, the consistent early June timing makes it a significant fixture in the regional kink calendar. The event is known for its commitment to education and community building, fostering a welcoming environment for both newcomers and seasoned participants in the leather and kink scene.
