ABOUT THE SACRAMENTO LEATHER INVASION
Founded in 2018 by Dustin “Daddy Black Widow” Thurman. The Sacramento Leather Invasion was created to bring the Leather Community together and celebrate the people, culture, and spaces that make Sacramento special. After Dustin’s passing in 2021, the Invasion was revived in 2022 to honor his legacy and continue what he started.
Now it’s time to invade again and BLUFSF is proud to be a part of this remarkable tradition.
