Kink Down South Weekend 2026 will take place in Midtown Atlanta across a variety of locations, including Atlanta Eagle, Masquerade, the host hotel – The Courtland Grand, and our new home, 535 Means Street NW! 

The Daytime Festival is open to all individuals 18+. ID is required for entry. Those under 21 at the festival will have the backs of their hands marked with non-toxic marker. 

Certain events will be 21+ based on the venue’s policy. Any age restrictions will be noted on the ticket site when tickets go on sale.

Friends can not pick up loose wristbands for someone else not present. IDs are checked when picking up wristbands.

Attendees can assign their tickets by following the steps to log in to Eventeny and should be done prior to checking in. CLICK HERE TO GO TO TICKETING SITE 

If they have not transferred their tickets – ask them to step aside and transfer their tickets before proceeding.

Absolutely not! We encourage and celebrate kinksters of all kinds to come out and be apart of the community. Our events are open to everyone regardless of gender identity/expression, orientation, ability, faith, ancestral background.

Kink Down South is required to follow all local, state, and federal laws to the best of our ability and intervene in any discovered instances of “lewd behavior”.

NUDITY IS PERMITTED!

1. No “wild“ pissing (we have restroom trailers, please use them)
2. No sex 

No sex? Yes, we know everyone is excited to play. No doubts. But the Festival is a social event in public, a pride event essentially. So no sucking, fucking, or masturbation in the public areas or bathrooms. Connect via our dedicated Telegram chat to connect with other attendees. (Hint: we can neither confirm nor deny a designated alley for a quick trist.)

We have a three-strikes policy on public sexual activity, as follows:

Step 1 – Verbal warning. Our Security team may stop you and ask that you take your given activity (e.g., masturbation, oral/anal/vaginal sex) indoors to an appropriate local establishment;

Step 2 – Ejection from the fair. Our Security team will escort you to the closest gate, requesting that you do not return. If needed, we will ask for APD assistance, and we will alert our gate personnel that you are not allowed to re-enter; and,

Step 3 – Citation. If you are found back on the event grounds, we will turn the matter over to APD.

These policies mirror similar events, including Folsom Street Fair (SF) and Folsom Europe.

YES! We will have a shuttle running between all official events and the host hotel!

Shuttles begin 30 minutes before the event start time and will run in continuous cycles during the event.

Friday Service:
6:30 PM – 3:00 AM at Courtland Grand -> Atlanta Eagle

Saturday Service:
8:30 AM – 6:30 PM at Courtland Grand -> 535 Means Street NW

9:30 PM – 3:00 AM at Courtland Grand -> Masquerade (Heaven)

Sunday Service:
8:30 AM – 6:30 PM at Courtland Grand -> 535 Means Street NW

We also strongly encourage ride shares for those who plan to imbibe during the event and are not staying at the host hotel. There are dedicated pick-up and drop-off points, including ADA parking and drop-off in front of the door.

There is a dedicated Ride Share channel in our official Telegram group for arranging rides with others.

Kink Down South strives to create as accessible a space as possible, but understands there are limitations within the spaces we inhabit.

Our festival location is fully ADA-compliant, making it easier for folks to navigate the spaces in full, including ramp access to all areas, wheelchair accessible bathrooms, and bars on all levels to ensure ease of access. Shuttle service will also be offered with ADA-compliant shuttles.

To help you prepare, you can read an overview of each location/venue’s accessibility closer to the event date.

FESTIVAL GROUNDS

NUDITY IS PERMITTED INSIDE THE VENUE! Must enter and exit the venue in street- legal clothing. Nudity is allowed once inside the Atlanta Contemporary, in the outdoor social and bootblack areas, as well as both classroom 1 & 2.

Due to local laws and food safety regulations, we ask that non-see-through underwear/jocks be worn when on the street and in the pavilion. 

STREET LEGAL CLOTHING DEFINITION

Butts, bits and breasts must all be covered when entering or exiting the Festival Grounds or venues. Exposing bare buttocks, breasts, or genitals in a public place can be considered illegal in Georgia under the state’s Public Indecency law (O.C.G.A. § 16-6-8).

HOST HOTEL & SHUTTLE SERVICE
Must be dressed in street-legal clothing when in public areas. Speedos and Binikis are allowed for the pool – genitals and butts must be covered at all times. This is a shared space – it is not a hotel buyout. (yet!) Those violating this may be asked to leave the hotel. 

ATLANTA EAGLE AND MASQUERADE ATLANTA

Cover your genitals; topless is welcome for all, but due to GA Law, AFAB must cover areolas, e.g., pasties are encouraged. Chaps, jocks, and underwear is allowed.

We love a good circuit party, and while we have 3 days of parties at various locations, and circuit looks and friends are welcome, the music and style of events will cross various genres with a focus on House music.

The Atlanta Eagle will have a clothes check open during our events run by their teams in their normal location.

During the Festival and at Masquerade, we’ll have an on-site clothes check service where you can secure your items!

For those who enjoy a smoke, a cigar, or a cigarette, we ask that you be considerate of where you partake. 

During the Festival, you make smoke outside. Please be courteous of those around you and make use of the ashtrays provided.

You’re welcome to smoke on the decks/patios of either the Atlanta Eagle or outside the Masquerade. There is no smoking inside. 

There is plenty of parking at the host hotel and 535 Means St NW. 

For 535 Means St NW, there are approximately 250 parking spaces directly next to the event on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be a reserved lot on the backside of the venue for ADA parking and access. We will also have a designated ride share pickup and drop off area – cause if you plan on drinking (or anything else) – please don’t drive. There are also dedicated ADA pickup and drop-off areas.

There are also multiple parking garages around the host hotel. The hotel is valet only and costs $35/day.

We will have individual passes available for a majority of our events. Please see our Ticketing Page for a breakdown of the various tickets and availability.

Invites to the official Telegram group are sent directly to ticket holders via email to limit access. You can ask ask fellow attendees to invite you in or email info@KinkDownSouth.com for access. 

Yes! Our Host Hotel this year is the Courtland Grand. We have a special block for attendees. Book Your Room for KDS Weekend today!

Please refrain from bringing any animal bio-pets into our events. It’s crowded, loud, and not suitable for most animals.

We want you to be your authentic self. From pups, to doms, gimps to leather – rubber, rope and everything in between – all kinks between consenting adults is welcome.

We are proud to have a diverse set up sponsors and vendors.

We encourage our ABDLs and Ageplayer friends to come as they wish! Open wear is allowed at KDS Events. However we are unable to provide littles with a changing space and ask that any materials be properly disposed of.
