Philadelphia Leather Pride Night returns November 1st!
Leather, community, chosen family, and a charity auction worth raising your paddle for. Philadelphia Leather Pride Night is back, get the details below!
Philadelphia’s leather community is getting ready to gather, and Philadelphia Leather Pride Night (PLPN) is inviting the broader leather, kink, fetish, and LGBTQIA+ community to join the celebration.
On Sunday, November 1st of 2026, Congregation Rodeph Shalom in Center City Philadelphia will once again open its doors for the 17th Annual Philadelphia Leather Pride Night, an afternoon and evening dedicated to community, connection, celebration, and giving back.
Doors open at 3:00PM, with the live auction kicking off at 4:15PM.
And if you’ve been to PLPN before, you already know: you never quite know what might show up on the auction table.
This year’s live and silent charity auctions will feature an eclectic mix of treasures and experiences from across the leather and fetish spectrum including theater tickets, event passes, hotel stays, leather and fetish clothing, adult-themed toys, equipment, books, art, jewelry, and a few special surprise items.
So bring your friends, bring your bidding strategy, and maybe leave a little extra room in your budget. You might just find something you didn’t know you needed!
MORE THAN AN AUCTION
While the auction is a highlight, PLPN is first and foremost about community.
Before the bidding begins, attendees will have the opportunity to visit PLPN’s traditional Community Information Tables where organizations can connect directly with the people who make up Philadelphia’s diverse leather and LGBTQIA+ communities.
This year’s participating organizations include Leather Girls of Color, Project HOME, Human Rights Campaign, and the Leather Archives & Museum.
The afternoon will also feature a light buffet, cash bar, entertainment, keynote address, live and silent auctions, and plenty of time to reconnect with old friends and make new ones.
This year’s keynote speaker is Akasha Eden, International Ms Leather. Serving as joint emcees will be 2026 Mr. and Ms. NJ Leather, Cortez Onyx and Lady Victoria Courtez.
THE REASON WE GATHER
At its heart, Philadelphia Leather Pride Night is about something bigger than a great auction.
It’s about giving back to the community that gives so much to us.
In 2025, PLPN raised more than $9,000 for its charity partners. This year, the goal is to raise even more.
One hundred percent of PLPN’s proceeds will benefit three organizations:
Project HOME – Gloria Casarez Residence
- Providing housing and supportive services while honoring the legacy of Gloria Casarez and her commitment to Philadelphia’s LGBTQIA+ community.
Human Rights Campaign
- Working to advance LGBTQIA+ equality and protect the rights and dignity of LGBTQIA+ people.
Leather Archives & Museum
- Preserving and sharing the history, culture, and stories of leather, kink, fetish, and alternative sexuality communities.
Every ticket. Every bid. Every winning paddle. Every donation. It all goes back to the community!
JOIN US
Whether you’re a longtime Philadelphia leather family member, a titleholder, a kinkster, a history buff, a first-time visitor, or simply someone who believes in supporting community organizations, there’s a place for you at PLPN.
