The debut of Kink Week was a smash success! During the first week of April 2026, the community hosted 13 featured events in venues across the city, 11 socials/meet-ups in local cafes and smaller spaces, and we partnered with and promoted 25 sponsors — businesses we love and who support our Portland scene.
This website will continue to be an active calendar of local BDSM and kink events until we are ready to start promoting next year’s official Kink Week (the week before Easter), which will no doubt be bigger and better. If you’d like us to promote your BDSM event below, reach out to us and share your event link.
Kink is
EVERYWHERE
Put some kink in your week
We are accepting calendar additions for kink events and socials beyond the official Kink Week. We will work to keep this calendar updated with local events we recommend as far as event hosts, venues, and activities.
PDXKW 2026: IN REVIEW
We are so proud of our city of hot ‘n’ pervy weirdos. For its debut year, Kink Week was a mad success. It is always so reassuring to see people come together like this. Oppressive forces are actively working to stifle sexual freedom and queer & trans rights, so it is very important right now that we take up space and find our allies. And y’all showed up to do just that!
There was kinkster-led live comedy, all-gender strip nights, BIPOC socials, BDSM play parties, a subversive zine-making workshop, a kinky DnD social, catered cocktail events, a BDSM bathhouse spa day, and dungeon skills classes + so much more! Over 1000 people attended featured events and community-led socials during the week (not including the thousands that also attended Kinkfest).
We’ve been getting some incredible feedback from featured event hosts, and most shows sold out. We were featured on EverOut and TravelPortland; we were even shouted out on the Jupiter Hotel marquee on Burnside. We gave away some fantastic donated goodies from Motorbunny, SheBop, and Fantasy. Overall, we witnessed Portland doing what it does best — and we plan to keep on signal boosting all that is weird and wonderful.
What our partners & collaborators said about PDXKW:
“Kink Week amplified the fun of (Kinkfest), allowing friends who couldn’t attend to feel included and have space to celebrate, and for those that could to further stoke our anticipation and excitement. It was so much fun!”
— Duchess, social host of ‘Force & Feeling: A Kinky Show and Tell’ at Escape Bar and Grill
“Hear You Loud & Queer is all about queer joy, being our authentic selves and resisting the system of power holding down queerness and inherently kink! It was our honor and privilege to be part of the first annual PDX Kink Week and celebrate this crossover! We can’t wait to do it again with all the little freaks out there!”
— Ally J. Ward, one of the hosts of the NSFW Kinky Comedy Show, hosted by Hear You Loud & Queer and Giggle Bottom at Show Bar.
“PDX Kink Week is what happens when people choose curiosity over fear. What struck me most was how deeply community-driven it all was: people not only showing up, but creating, hosting, and shaping the experience together. The week was both structured and expansive, where there was room to take up space…and just as much room to find it, even if it was entirely new. That kind of welcome doesn’t happen by accident.”
— Madame Penelope Von Meretrix, Community Member & Sponsor
“PDX Kink Week was a great way to contribute and connect to my community, and I’m grateful to everyone who worked so hard to make it an incredible week.”
— Mx. Audrey Saint, hosted ‘Physical Media: A Kinky Zine Workshop‘ at Grave Raiment Studio
“We had an incredible time throwing our kinky play party for dykes during PDX Kink Week. Everyone was excited to play in a kinky space for us, by us.”
— Queen Emma, The Gay Barn (Hosts of Filthy Dyke) at Peacock
