The organizers of Colorado Leather Fest have an image of what the future of the BDSM, Leather, Kink, and Fetish community could be like. It is a future where everyone is accepted for who and what they are and are free to practice their lifestyle in a way that is rewarding and fulfilling to them, as long as no one is being harmed. It is a future where people are able to engage in the activities of their lifestyle in the safest way possible. It is a future where marginalized communities are welcomed and included; where, in fact, there are no marginalized communities at all.

This is a vision that we believe can be made real. We hope to enable that future by providing an environment where all are welcome; where they can develop the skills they need to form strong and lasting relationships; where they can learn about the history and traditions of our communities; and where they can meet and develop connections with others from all of the varied aspects of our subculture.

We do this through our annual event, Colorado Leather Fest; through our title contests where individuals take on the responsibility of role models and ambassadors for our community; and through other educational offerings and activities throughout the year.

We invite you to share this vision with us and to join us on a journey to what our future can be.
