The organisers of Folsom Street Events in San Francisco have made a big announcement of the fair’s date change, marking the first time since 1992 that the Folsom Street Fair will not take place on the last weekend in September.
In the very early years of the fair (1984-1992), it was almost always timed to coincide with the autumnal equinox.
In 2012, the fair will be pushed up one week from its regular date to Sunday, September 23RD in order to avoid a scheduling conflict with Oracle Open World. As such, San Francisco Leather Week will commence on Sunday, September 16TH and it will end on Sunday, September 23RD.
According to Demetri Moshoyannis, Executive Director, “For a long time now, Folsom Street Fair has ‘always’ been held on the last weekend in September. The decision to move the fair date was not taken lightly. We were told only weeks after this year's fair that nearly the entire inventory of hotel rooms for the City had been sold out for the last weekend of September 2012. So, we were faced a decision: either move the 2012 fair date and risk upsetting some people who had booked way in advance or not move the fair date, knowing that tens of thousands of visitors would be unable to book rooms at all. The vast majority of people books accommodations three to nine months out. Still, it was not an easy decision to make.”
