Off Sunset Festival draws huge crowd

Tom of Finland Foundation had Mark Bellenger promoting TOM’s Bar.

The Off Sunset Festival, held in Los Angeles on Sunday, 5th June in perfect weather, was back from a two-year hiatus with a bang. The huge street festival was held at Santa Monica Blvd. at Hoover and Myra next to Eagle LA which saw long lines of Leatherfolk waiting to get in. It seems every type of kinkster was there.

Many of the Leather community businesses and organizations had booths, there were the food trucks and lots of bare chested men – as in as many as 10,000 of them. It is not certain if there were that many at the Off Sunset Festival, but if not, it was close. From beginning to end the energy was high. What is clear is the Charlie and Hunter have a winner.

Off Sunset Festival producers posted the following regarding their mission, “Off Sunset Association is a group of individuals who live, work and play in the Silver Lake area. It is with great affection for this diverse community that we are launching the Off Sunset Festival. We own businesses here. We frequent the local restaurants and bars. We spend time in this incredible section of Los Angeles and we want to give back. It is our goal to support beautification, art and youth programs with an emphasis on the LGBT community.”
