Kick off Twin Cities Leather and Fetish weekend as Minnesota Leather Pride hosts Floggapalooza, the event with a lot of impact!

Expect an evening of toys, kink, and lots of fun! We'll have four play stations set up where you and a partner can tease the audience with a show of your style of play. But you won't be left out if you're coming alone, or if you're just curious to try a flogger or two. There's plenty of chances to make a new friend and try out some toys. Or just come and watch the show - you won't leave disappointed!

If you have a favorite flogger, cane, or other toy please bring them, but only a few - you need to keep track of your own toys. And impact only! No wax, fire, sharps, or other types of play.

The event happens in the disco bar of the Saloon - 830 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis - on Friday November 6th, starting at 6:30pm. It costs $15 at the door, but if you have your 2026 MNLP dog tag, you can get $5 off.

Everyone of any gender and ability level are welcome. So put on the outfit that makes you feel confident and sexy and get ready for an evening of debauchery. We'll see you there, and help start TCL/F weekend off right! by @mnleatherpride

Saturday November 7th, 12:00-3:00pm
The Saloon
Minnesota Leather Pride in proud partnership with Twin Cities Leather Fetish Weekend, invites you to an afternoon of queer connection, kinky exploration, and unapologetic self-discovery. Whether you're a curious newcomer, a seasoned deviant, or somewhere deliciously in between, our presenters are ready to offer you tools, insights, and some sexy inspiration. MNLP and TCLFW are proud to offer ASL interpreters throughout the day’s programming to help ensure this space is accessible, welcoming, and affirming for our Deaf and hard-of-hearing community members.
Choose from 4 engaging workshops. Then roll right into an afternoon of low-key mingling and high-impact conversation at the Socials. Rub shoulders (and maybe more) with Leatherfolk, Rubber enthusiasts, pups, handlers, critters, and queer kinksters of all kinds before the contest kicks off later in the evening.
Bring your curiosity. Bring your gear. Bring your whole queer, kinky self.

Schedule:
Disco Bar:
12:00-1:30- My Body is Ready: Movement with Petty Treason
1:30-3:00- Wax Play with Mermaid
Fireside Bar:

Help us spread out the largest leather Pride flag in the world, then get a photo! We've found a drone photographer, so make sure you don't miss this chance to get in our incredibly unique shot. Then, help us fold the flag again to put in storage until next June.

Meetup is August 22nd. We'll meet at 2601 Theodore Wirth Pkwy, unfurling at 10:30, photo at 11:15. There's parking and public transit close by!

Many hand make light work, and it's a rare opportunity to see so many leather folks on their knees. :)

This is a shine-only event. If it's raining, we'll reschedule! by @mnleatherpride

This Sunday we will be hosting a very special “Leather Church” benefitting one of our beloved community members Renton Rushold.

During Pride Ren was given the devastating news that his father had passed away making him unable to work Pride Weekend.

Ren has given back to his community multiple times, from bartending events for ICOM, NSGRA, and MNLP. He’s been a staple at Saloons Bango for numerous years helping foster community there. He’s also best known for placing top 20 when he competed at IML.

This Sunday we have a chance to help a brother, a friend, a leather man with the expenses that come with daily life but also funeral costs and travel expenses.

On Sunday we have games, baked goods, prizes, and food. Bring a couple bucks and let’s help our family.
