Join us for our 8th annual Philadelphia Leather Pride Night.... winner of the 2012 Pantheon of Leather Event of the Year and producer of the 2014 Leather Leadership Conference. Our evening will once again take place inside the newly renovated Voyeur Nightclub located in the heart of Philadelphias gayborhood. Wait until you see the new decor and layout!
Returning for her 8th year is our million dollar auctioneer Jo Arnone. With her booming voice we have been able to raise and donate out over $70,000 for our charities.
Our live auction consists of items across the spectrum...everything from Opera tickets, event passes, leather and fetish clothing, adult themed toys, equipment, books, art, jewelry and always a few special surprise items.
Our silent auction will be run by Philadelphia's oldest and still active munch group - The Gate Munch. They have been part of PLPN since its inception in 2009. Bootblacking will be available all night on our main floor with 2016 Philadelphia Bootblack Sir Kim and a local crew of fabulous bootblacks including 2015 Philadelphia Bootblack Jade and 2013 Mid-Atlantic Leatherboy Quinton.
Each year we bring in a a guest Emcee or two for the event. This year our Emcee is Jaco Lourens traveling from Cape Town South Africa. Living through Apartheid as an openly gay man Jaco Lourens took Cape Town by storm. In 2009, he won the title of Mr South Africa Leather and went on to take 4th place at International Mr Leather in 2010. Jaco runs the Cape Town Chapter of South Africa Leathermen and along with his legal husband, Herman, has co-founded the Golden Gays Foundation, which is a non-profit organization that cares for aged gay men and women in their community. Jaco was the keynote speaker at the 2014 Philadelphia Leather Leadership Conference with his speech "Long Walk to Freedom" come meet Jaco and find out what makes him and his community so special.
We bring in entertainment every year to make the night magical. Once again we will have a fire spinning show otuside our venue.
