What We Do
KinkToberFest is an immersive, inclusive, and exhilarating four-day journey of discovery, connection, and play—brought to you by NM-REAL and our vibrant community of collaborators. 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. Kinktoberfest is an inclusive event coordinated by NM-REAL and the community, four fun days in October over three weeks for those 21 years of age and older. 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. Mark Your Calendar. Grab Your Gear. Tell Your Friends. KinkToberFest is more than an event—it’s a celebration of who we are, how we play, and what we create together. We can’t wait to see you there.
