Details

Dark Garden presents the inaugural femme-foward Folsom weekend event, Praise.

Hosted in a gorgeous, luxurious lounge in the Castro and featuring Valtesse in their Bay Area debut, this will be the can’t-miss event of Folsom weekend.

Specifically curated for the high-femmes of the kink community and those that love us, it will be a salacious evening full of gorgeous guests, craft cocktails, and jaw-dropping immersive performance.

Dress Code: This is a gathering of San Francisco’s most sartorial kinksters. It’s your opportunity to show off your finest fetish gear, be it leather, lace, latex or lingerie. It is a high fashion fetish environment, and all guests are part of the experience. Our door domme will be passing judgment at the door. If there is no effort, there will be no entry.

We will have a pop-up boutique at the event where you can add some select Dark Garden pieces to your look for the night. We highly recommend stopping by our shop before the event where our team of trained specialists will be delighted to style and support you. We're also hosting a special styling event on September 16th.
