GearUp Weekend

July 10-13 2025

What’s GearUp Weekend?

Join us for our award-winning annual retreat in Northern California, where kinksters and fetish enthusiasts meat, learn, and play! From leather, rubber, sports gear, uniforms, spandex, and underwear to BDSM scenes like Dom/sub, fisting, pup play, watersports, chastity, roleplay, sensory exploration and more—GearUp Weekend celebrates the full spectrum of kink and fetish interests. Whether you’re seasoned or curious, there’s space for you to explore, connect, and have fun with like-minded individuals. Whatever your vibe, bring your playfulness, joy, and sense of adventure.

Who’s GearUp Weekend for?

GearUp is for kinky adult men (ages 21 and up) from all backgrounds. We build community and foster education for men of all experience levels. While preserving the affinity of gay male-centered spaces and masculine energy, GearUp Weekend explicitly welcomes trans men, as well as nonbinary and intersex individuals who identify or present as masculine for the purposes of our event. GearUp Weekend unequivocally supports the freedom and human rights of trans and gender-diverse people. GearUp Weekend does not tolerate transphobia or racism.
