Kinktoberfest 2025 - A community collaboration

A great fall kink celebration is coming to Albuquerque! Our alternative community is at the heart of NM-REAL (New Mexico Respect Ethics Acceptance in Leather), Inc's mission and objectives from its inception. An event to bring this community together was also a long term objective.

Beginnings of this event were held the same time last year in different locations by different names.  We are formalizing the event and expanding to fill available facility space and interest in the community.  KinkToberFest will be held at the Purgatory/Spectrum space.  The list of organizations involved will grow from our original organizers, NM-REAL (nm-real.org), Spectrum Parties (spectrumparties.com), Onyx High Desert (onyxhighdesert.com), Purgatory Dungeon (purgatorydungeon.com), and Domum Corium Cordis (houseofleatherheart.org).

The result is KinkToberFest, an immersive, inclusive, and exhilarating four-day journey of discovery, connection, and play. Whether you’re coming to learn, to play, to connect—or all of the above—there’s something at KinkToberFest for everyone 21+ who craves excitement, education, and exploration in our community. This is an inclusive event, four fun days in October/November over three weeks. 

Come to just socialize; come to just learn; come to just play; or come to mix and match how you feel. Come solo, come with friends, or come make new ones!  Each day blends high-quality educational classes with unforgettable play parties in a welcoming, inclusive space. Think of it as your perfect fall escape—part kinky con, part community gathering, and all unforgettable fun. Two Friday evenings, and one weekend on Saturday and Sunday.  The Saturday-Sunday event includes more class time, and a closing community social lunch barbeque.
