International Mr. Leather Weekend

With its origins in a 1979 bar contest, this five-day event features parties, a fetish and leather market, a physique competition, a sexy shoe-polishing competition and, of course, the annual crowning of International Mr. Leather. The IML Leather Market at the Congress Hotel is open to the public on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, allowing you to browse items being sold by vendors from all over the country. The International Mr. Leather competition takes place on Sunday at the Auditorium Theatre, but you'll need to secure to a ticket package to gain access to the event. Check out the IML website for details about the ticketing and the complete lineup of events.
