Sacramento Leather Invasion 2026: CUERO at the Bolt
4 min read
BLUFSF lists Sacramento Leather Invasion 2026 for Saturday, October 17, 2026, with a special CUERO edition at the Bolt. CUERO's program runs from 9:30 PM to midnight; the invasion itinerary reaches the bar at 10 PM. They're separate timings, not competing versions of the same start time.
Quick answer: CUERO takes place at the Bolt, 2560 Boxwood Street, Sacramento, from 9:30 PM to midnight on October 17. BLUFSF encourages BLUF gear and says all are welcome. A raffle and fundraising are planned, but conflicting organizer information leaves the recipient unresolved. Times below refer to the Sacramento event.

CUERO's schedule and the invasion route
The BLUFSF itinerary lists four stops:
7 PM at the Merc.
Badlands follows at 8 PM.
9 PM at the Depot.
The final stop is the Bolt at 10 PM.
The wider invasion listing spans 7 PM to 2 AM. CUERO's special-edition announcement gives its own window of 9:30 PM to midnight. Neither the program nor the route tells you when the Bolt opens its doors.
If you're heading straight to CUERO, its listing is the schedule to follow rather than the route's arrival time. Before leaving, check for changes on the organizer's page. A screenshot of the itinerary alone can miss that half-hour difference.
The gathering's community history
BLUFSF describes the invasion as "not just a bar crawl" in its special-events announcement. According to the organizer, Dustin "Daddy Black Widow" Thurman started the gathering in 2018. After his death in 2021, it returned in 2022 to continue his work.
That memorial history sits alongside the organizer's aim of bringing the leather community together. CUERO adds planned fundraising at the final venue, giving the Bolt stop a program of its own rather than just an arrival time on the route.

Fundraising planned, recipient still unclear
The CUERO announcement includes a raffle and fundraising through ticket and cigar sales. Its event text and fundraising-history section give conflicting recipient information, so this preview names no beneficiary or amount and reports no completed donation.
If you're contributing, ask BLUFSF where this edition's proceeds will go. A fundraising reference isn't an admission price: the announcement doesn't settle the cover charge, entry-age policy or accessibility arrangements. Those details need confirmation from BLUFSF or the Bolt before you plan around them.
BLUF gear is encouraged
The CUERO listing encourages BLUF gear and says "ALL are welcome!" Gear is encouraged, not stated as compulsory. That welcome message doesn't resolve the venue's other entry conditions.
As general editorial guidance, an outfit doesn't grant permission to touch someone or photograph them. Our guide to enthusiastic consent in kink explains permission and boundaries; it isn't a statement of CUERO policy.
Our play-party etiquette guide offers optional background on boundaries in a different setting. The announcement doesn't establish that CUERO is a play party.
