About Us

The Salt Lake City Leather Pride Festival and the MR. & MS. LEATHER SL❤️UT Title Contests are a celebration of leather culture and community. Our festival brings together leather enthusiasts worldwide to connect, educate, and celebrate our diverse and vibrant community.

As the premier leather event in Salt Lake City, we take pride in showcasing the best of our community: from the fashion shows to workshops, social events, and the title contest. It is a weekend filled with empowerment, camaraderie, and expression.

Salt Lake City Leather Pride Festival and the MR. & MS. LEATHER SL❤️UT Title Contests raise funds that benefit UAF Legacy Health Clinic, an LGBTQ+ focused nonprofit health clinic located here in Salt Lake City.

Join us for a weekend of unforgettable experiences; embrace your true self, make lasting connections, and celebrate the richness of the leather community. Whether you're a seasoned leather enthusiast or new to the scene, there's something for everyone at the Salt Lake City Leather Pride Festival and the MR. & MS. LEATHER SL❤️UT Contests.
