Edition 2025 — FOLSOM Europe
In September 2025, the 21st edition of FOLSOM Europe Berlin took place on Fuggerstraße and Welserstraße in Schöneberg. With around 20,000 visitors from six continents and seven official parties, the festival once again confirmed its status as Europe's largest leather and fetish event.
The 2025 edition further established the festival as a must-attend event in the international queer festival calendar. In 2025, the street festival on Friday and Saturday was the emotional center of the weekend, while the official parties took over all of Berlin's major queer clubs over four days.
FOLSOM Europe e.V., the non-profit Berlin organizing association since 2004, organized the edition as usual with volunteer helpers. A portion of the proceeds has been flowing to HIV/AIDS initiatives and queer self-help projects in Berlin and Brandenburg for years.
