Fetish Friday: Gear

Starts in 7 hours

Friday, 9:00pm to 4:00am

Fetish Friday is BACK at Jackhammer and we’re GEAR-ing up, every 3rd Friday. Whether you’re ready to wear your first piece or have a collection, GEAR is dedicated to showcasing your hoods, harness, leather and rubber (and everything in between).

Fetish Friday is a weekly event from 9pm–4am that features rotating themes and parties. Participation in themes is totally optional and accessible to all—from newbies to the more experienced—and intended to encourage guests that are interested in the theme to explore and learn in a safe, LGBTQIA+ environment.
