Folsom Street East

Folsom Street East 2016 celebrates the Heroes who make New York, New York.

This year, we salute the people who make life a little more special, and a little more strange just by having the courage to be themselves.

It takes guts to be yourself in public. It takes grit to stand out from the crowd. But this is New York City: send us your freaks.

Every June in New York City, we gather to celebrate each other. We cruise and play and laugh. In 2016, there's been a lot of talk about New York Values. Here's what we value: Individuality. Respect. Tradition. Rebellion. Difference. Community. Pain, and Pleasure.

This year, we honor our Heroes - people who make New York strange and special, and people who have created space for others to be their weirdo selves. If you're reading this, that probably includes you.

Folsom Street East 2016 is on Sunday, June 19th. This year's Street Fair hours are extended 2 hours the fair will run from 11 AM 6 PM. This year, admission to the Street Fair costs a $20 suggested donation. Folsom Street East: $20 and still a cheap thrill.

Folsom Street East 2016 is presented by Recon. Folsom Street East is proud to partner for the 19th year with Eagle NYC, who will provide a beer garden. Our exclusive media sponsor is NEXT Magazine.
