With eleven events running over nine days in nine different venues, Brisbane Leather Week is set to celebrate Brisbane’s diverse and vibrant kink and fetish community in style.
A collaboration between BootCo Brisbane and Queensland Leather Pride, Brisbane Leather Week runs during Brisbane Pride Festival.
It’s expected that over 500 people will participate across the many events, bringing kinksters from all around Australia and internationally.
It all kicks off with Brisbane Leather Week joining forces with the fabulous 4 Seasons Market to bring you the biggest leather market yet!
This is your chance to browse, shop, swap, connect, and immerse yourself in the heart of our community.

Who will be the new state titleholders?
Among the events are the Mr Queensland Leather, Ms Queensland Leather, Queensland Leather Boy, and Queensland Kinkster 2026 competitions.
The Competition Grand Final on September 11 is one of the most anticipated events of Brisbane Leather Week.
Title contestants take to the stage after months of preparation, personal growth, community engagement, and dedication.
This is their opportunity to showcase their passion, leadership, authenticity, and commitment to the leather and kink communities.
“It sounds cliché, but it really is my favourite event of our calendar,” BootCo Brisbane President Lee Mollenhauer said.
“It’s easy for us to get trapped in our little bubble of the same events & the same people, and Brisbane Leather Week gives us the opportunity to mix with a bunch of new local & interstate guests.”

“Contestants bring their friends, members we haven’t seen for a while come back, and we’ve got a regular group of interstate visitors that make the journey every year. It’s a thrill to host everyone & show off what community can achieve when we work together”
It begins with the Leather Markets on Saturday, followed by BootCo’s male-identifying event, Tom’s Bar.
Then get ready for Kinky Trivia. Can you tell your hanky codes from your harnesses? There’s only one way to find out.
A new event, Cigar Social, will take place at The Wickham in an evening of relaxed conversation and good company.
Up next is Bowling Social, followed by Kinky Bingo in an afternoon packed with cheeky fun, friendly faces, and just the right amount of mischief.
So many events for all to enjoy and express themselves
“It’s such a joy to see Brisbane Leather Week’s growth and momentum,” Queensland Leather Pride President Sev Faust said.
“This year we are collaborating with even more venues and reaching more of our vast, diverse, vibrant community than ever before.”
“QLD Leather Pride is so proud to champion our diverse community of leather lovers and kinksters, and uplift leaders through the QLD Kinkster and QLD Ms Leather titles, and through the newest addition to the BLW calendar, a gender inclusive play party with Fired Up events!”
One of the signature events of the week is the Leather Dinner. The night brings together leatherfolk, kinksters, titleholders, community leaders, friends, and allies for an evening of great food, conversation, and camaraderie.
