UP YOUR ALLEY STREET FAIR
San Franciscans call this Dore (door-ee) Alley, 11am-6pm
Sunday, July 26
Leather/kink themed gathering at Folsom and 9th Street. No formal flagging space or boxes.
ROMP 69 ~ A DIRTY DISCOTHEQUE T-Dance from 6:00pm Sunday, July 26 to 1:00am Monday, July 27 at 1015 Folsom.
Flaggers will have the entire stage for the first two full hours of the party, plus all-evening access to a private flaggers-and-stage-performers lounge PLUS a flaggers-only blacklit dance area just above the main dance floor, a flagging performance during the party, and periodic windows of time for flagging back on the main stage again throughout the evening. At this year's ROMP, we step into a glitter-drenched fever dream—a place where disco didn’t die, it just ditched the rules, picked up a harness, and stayed out way past curfew. This is THE closing party of Dore Alley Weekend. Come lose yourself to DJ Russ Rich's unique mix of driving vocal and tech house.
The 2026 Flagging in the Park production team: Amy Lam, Fiona Davidson, Jack Whiteford, Jeff Kennedy, Markus Thorndike, Michael Rackley, Tom Steele, William Barros, Xavier Caylor and Zach Warner.
