What OKC Kink Weekend Is
As a national educational and community event, OKC Kink Weekend is dedicated to fostering connection, consent, leadership and personal growth within the kink, leather and LGBTQ+ communities. Held annually in Oklahoma City, the weekend brings together attendees from across the country for a diverse schedule of educational classes, a vibrant vendor market, hospitality parties, talented bootblacks and of course the Route 66 Title Competitions.
At the heart of OKC Kink Weekend is a commitment to education and community building. With 70+ educational classes taught by experienced presenters and title contestants, attendees have opportunities to learn, share knowledge and build meaningful connections in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
The Route 66 Title Competitions, featuring 5 Title categories: Mr Route 66, Ms Route 66, Bootblack, Beat and Pet, sets a high standard for title competitions. Contestants are required to teach educational classes during the weekend and titleholders are expected to remain active ambassadors for education, service and community engagement throughout their title year.
Educational Program
With 70+ classes throughout the weekend, the OKC Kink Weekend education program sets a high bar for kink education within our community. Our diverse educational tracks include skills-based classes, power exchange, M/s dynamics, negotiation and consent, accessibility, pet play, bootblacking, rope, service, body positivity, cigars and so much more.
Rather than simply offering a collection of classes, our schedule is intentionally curated to help attendees build on concepts throughout the weekend. With a wide range of topics, perspectives, and skill levels, OKC Kink Weekend offers a well-rounded, engaging educational experience designed to inspire curiosity, deepen knowledge and encourage continued exploration.
Vendor Marketplace
Discover the makers, artists and small businesses that help make our community unique. The OKC Kink Weekend Vendor Marketplace puts a special focus on community-run, queer-owned and small businesses, giving you the opportunity to shop directly from the people who create the gear, art and goods that keep us kinking in style.
From handcrafted leather to toys to kink gear to art, our marketplace is a chance to support independent makers, discover something new and connect with the people behind the work.
Bootblacks @ Route 66
We’ve assembled a top-tier, carefully curated team of bootblacks known for their skill, craftsmanship and commitment to the art of leather care. Each bootblack has been vetted for their experience, attention to detail and dedication to treating your leather with the care it deserves.
Whether your boots need a little love, a serious shine or simply some time in the hands of someone who understands leather, our bootblack team is here to keep your leather looking its very best.

Featuring hundreds of custom minifigures representing members of our community, the display celebrates the individuality, strength and connection that comes from standing together. Be sure to explore the collection throughout the weekend, find yourself among the ranks and create a mini-figure of your very own to join the LEGO Pride Army.
Socials at OKC Kink Weekend
Critter Mosh
The OKC Critter Mosh welcomes critters of all kinds. We have pups, kittens, foxes and even dragons join the fun and there’s always room for another critter in the pack.
The first of its kind at OKC Kink Weekend 2026, the Critter Mosh brought together three incredible pet play organizations: Paws and Claws OK, Red Dirt Dog Park and Doghouse Outreach to co-host. Each organization brings its own unique personality, experience and fun to create a welcoming space for critters and their humans to connect, play and build community.
Hospitality Parties
Our hospitality hosts bring new experiences, great snacks and plenty of opportunities to connect within our shared spaces. Whether you’re discovering a new organization, reconnecting with old friends or simply looking for a place to relax and meet someone new, there’s always something happening in the hospitality suite.
Hospitality parties are open to all registered OKC Kink Weekend attendees throughout the weekend. Come as you are, stay awhile and find your community.
The Fred Anderson Memorial Cigar Social
The Fred Anderson Cigar Social honors the memory of a beloved member of the leather community whose warmth, humor and gentlemanly spirit left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.
Fred passed away in 2021, leaving behind a community that remembers him not only as Mr. Leather Everything but as an avid cigar smoker, a kind soul, a gentleman and someone who could always bring a smile to the room. For Fred, cigars were about more than the smoke, they were about conversation, connection and sharing time with good people. Hosted by Bone Dry Cigar Club, this social is an opportunity to come together, enjoy a cigar and raise a toast to Fred as we share connections and creat new memories.
