A recurring event, usually at a club or bar, where attendees dress in fetish gear and socialize or play in a space that welcomes kink expression. It sets itself apart from a regular night out by making that dress code and atmosphere the point rather than an exception.
For many people, fetish night is a low-pressure entry point into the scene, a chance to wear gear they would not wear elsewhere and meet others with shared interests without committing to a private event. Regulars often treat a specific venue's night as a standing social anchor, and the crowd tends to be a mix of longtime community members and curious newcomers.
Worth knowing: Consent rules and dress codes vary by venue, so know the house policy on touching, photography, and play before you go, and arrange your own safe way home if you plan to drink.
Also called: fetish party, kink night, leather night, dungeon night, play party, munches
