LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District Present: Play on the Plaza August 10th signup sheet

Play on the Plaza is a monthly event that takes place on the second Saturday of each month between April to October.

Thank you so much for donating your precious time to help build the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District!

- If vehicles must enter the street because they live on the block, one person must walk with the vehicle to their garage to ensure safety of our patrons wandering the street!

Ambassador – Floater
