KinkFest - Portland Leather Alliance

Please come and join us for the premiere, nationally acclaimed, West coast Kink Conference.

Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, KinkFest 2021 will be in an online format only.

KinkFest is an annual, 3-day event celebrating sexual diversity, bdsm, fetish and leather communities. There are numerous educational classes, and a large vendor mall filled with products and services from local and national leather, fetish and kink businesses.

This year KinkFest and the PLA are proud to partner with freeQ. freeQ is KinkFest 2021's event tech host. freeQ partners with LGBTQ+ and sex-positive event producers to host amazing live events on a safer video platform. freeQ creates online LGBTQ+ and sex-positive spaces on our own tech, built by kinky queers for kinky queers.

"As a former first timer at Kinkfest, I have to say it was an exciting and wonderful experience, and i truly felt I belonged, and learned a lot about myself and figures i can take what i learned to further my journey into my kink lifestyle. I have been trying to find myself, but i really know now where to go from here, and for that i thank everyone there if i talked to you or not" - ShadowKitty39, April 2017

"As a first timer to Kinkfest, I and my partner had an amazingly good time. Absolutely everybody was friendly and helpful. The vendors were great... Most of the wares for sale were very high quality goods… The workshops we went to were all good ones. But the dungeon was AMAZING!!! It was the height of the weekend experience." - WolfThorn, April 2017
