Twisted Windows: Folsom Gala

An extravagant gala celebrating Folsom Street Fair weekend. Featuring exquisitely er*tic, sensually subversive, and distinctly daring queer performance art, including aerial acrobatics, suspension bondage, pole dance, shibari, and fetish acts.

This year, our theme is "Ritual": traditions and gatherings that mark time and bring us back to one another, year after year.

Our signature immersive experience surrounding you with unique, exceptional performances and erotic art gallery.

An only-in-San-Francisco, only-on-Folsom-weekend experience.

Inspired by nature, ritual and the macabre, cum enjoy a dark take on biophilic erotica art. Pieces in the Twisted Windows Gallery will titillate, tantalize, and tempt you to make it yours.
