Kink Down South Weekend 2025 will take place in Midtown Atlanta across a variety of locations including Atlanta Eagle, the host hotel, our new industrial  venue, and more! The main festival will be hosted just five minutes from Georgia Tech, at a spacious 20,000 sq. ft. industrial venue.

To prioritize the safety, privacy, and experience of our attendees, we will not release the exact address of the main festival grounds publicly until closer to the event.

• Ticket holders will receive the venue address two weeks prior to the festival via email.
• For those wishing to purchase a day pass on site, the location will be shared publicly on the Friday before the event.

This policy helps us minimize the risk of disruptions from bad actors or protesters and ensures a secure, welcoming space for everyone attending.

We appreciate your understanding and commitment to keeping KDS Weekend a safe, inclusive, and unforgettable experience.

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.

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”. Given our new venue, we are adopting a the same policy as Folsom Europe:

So new for 2025 – there are also 3 other rules we always asked to respect since 2004:

– no nudism (cover your genitals  – topless is welcome for all genders)

– no „wild“ pissing (we have almost 40 toilet cabins, please use them)

– 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, jacking-off.  Connect via our dedicated telegram chat for private apartments, hotel rooms, or come to the official play party! 

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 gates 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.

This is the same policy at Folsom.

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

Our new festival location is fully ADA complaint, making it easier for folks to navigate the spaces in full.

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

It depends on the event:

When on the festival grounds,  nudity is NOT allowed. Our new festival location allows for many improvements to our event, but unfortunately full nudity is not allow. (eg. Jockstraps/Pasties required)

Dress in street legal clothing and use our clothes check when you arrive! 

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

All our events will have a clothes check available.

For those who enjoy a smoke, cigar ,or 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.

Smoking at the events will be dictated by the venue’s policy and will be clarified closer to the event date. 

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

Yes! We will be releasing the hotel block in the coming weeks! 

Please refrain from being any animal into out events. It’s be crowded, loud, and not suitable for most animals.

Service animals are permitted. If they need water, please see a volunteer and we’ll be happy to help. 

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.
