Folsom Street Fair (San Francisco)

Quote:
For those partial to leather, latex and a good dash of domination, San Francisco hosts the definitive S&M celebration. Several city blocks in the SOMA district are cordoned, allowing all manners of toys, ticklers, rubber suits, and leather masks to go on display. You'll be astounded at how creative people can become when they want to get off.

Why do you find sex dangerous?

Haha no. I looked up top 10 sex festivals for kicks.

On a serious note, the Guelaguetza Festival in Oaxaca is the largest folk dance festival in the Americas.

I try to go to Festival National de la Vendimia (Grape Harvest Festival) every other year or so. Not dangerous just a lot of wine and parties.

looks painful, but the dedication of those folks is something I respect. It looked like quite a long procession as well. The music being played on the streets puts one in a sort of hypnotic state.

Its unchained, I was looking to see what folks thoughts are on Ashura day, Vegetarian day. Interesting Non western things we are not used to seeing every day. Like this ,


I do that every Saint Patricks Day. I even get shirts to commemorate it.
