Up Your Alley® is an unrivaled fetish fair, always on the last weekend of July in San Francisco. It's only for real players - and not for the faint of heart. There are sweaty athletes in full kit, motorcycle studs, hairy chested muscle men, spit-in-your-face punks, and leather daddies galore. You won't find a filthier event here in the States. If you're into it, there's a scene for you at Up Your Alley. With over 10,000 sexy leathermen, you're sure to find your match.

Located in front of the legendary Powerhouse bar, leather and fetish enthusiasts engage in serious BDSM play - right on the street! The fair features over 50 vendor booths, hot food and cold stiff drinks, boot black stations, and a dance area with the hottest San Francisco DJs located at the intersection of 10th and Folsom. Check out this only-in-San Francisco event that attracts your most self-indulgent band of brothers.

In order to accomodate the newly enacted SF nudity ordinance, from which the UYA fairgrounds is exempt, coat check will be available on 10th Street between the food court and Folsom St.

Best of Bay 2009 - Editors Picks: Best Fair that's Up Yours -- "While the Folsom Street Fair has grown into an international destination for kinksters and the tourists who ogle them, the Up Your Alley Fair has become increasingly important as a more intimate oasis for local leatherheads who remember the scene's old days. The fair — better known as Dore Alley Fair, though the event was named when it started in 1985 on a different street — has brought much-needed attention to the oft-overlooked SoMa neighborhood. We love the organization's dedication to supporting groups and charities like the Episcopal Community Services, AIDS Emergency Fund, and Transgender Law Center. What we don't love is that this event may be the next target on the Police Department's Death of Fun Crusade. Show your support this year so that Up Your Alley doesn't go the way of Castro Halloween." - SF Bay Guardian - July 29, 2009

Up Your Alley Fair a Great Warm-Up for Folsom -- San Francisco Bay Times
by Sister Dana Van Iquity - August 3, 2000

The hot weather last Sunday brought out the hot men and women leather enthusiasts for what is affectionately known as "Up Your Alley," produced annually by the Folsom Street Events board of directors. Most every one of the attendees gave a couple of bucks for charity at the donation gates as Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and other volunteers applied a little old-fashioned Bondage & Discipline and shook down the leatherfolk for cash – all going to charity. And how lovely to see a master taking his human dog out for a walk, securely leashed and muzzled, crawling across the pavement and sniffing crotches along the way. Heel!
