BLUF events calendar

This calendar shows BLUF events around the world, and those of some other related organisations which we think may be of interest to our members and fans. It's not an exhaustive calendar of the leather scene, and we don't generally promote commercial events here.

Coronavirus/COVID19: We will try our best to keep this calendar up to date, but please check with event organisers before travelling, and follow local health advice. If you have travelled to an affected area recently, or are feeling ill - even a cold - please be responsible, consider the risk to others, and avoid attending events.
