What if you held an awards show, and a street fair broke-out?

This year the GAYVN Awards will take place in conjunction with the annual Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco in late September, the AVN Media Network announced Tuesday. This is a change from its usual time of year, namely April.

AVN Chief Operating Officer Janet Gibson said the festivities will occur either Sept. 25 or 26, depending upon the availability of the venue. She added the precise date would be confirmed in early April.

This year marks the 12th annual presentation of the awards, which honor outstanding achievement in the gay adult entertainment industry. Folsom Street Fair has been a San Francisco tradition since 1984 and is one of the world’s largest leather events. Proceeds from the fairs are distributed to organizations that promote a sense of community, diversity, cooperation, health and human services.

“Folsom Street Events welcomes the GAYVN Awards to San Francisco Leather Week with open legs,” said Folsom Street Events Executive Director Demetri Moshoyannis. “The gay adult film industry’s best porn stars will mix and mingle with thousands of sex-positive gay men from all over the world [who will be] in town for Folsom Street Fair. This is a fantastic opportunity for the industry to showcase its stars for the most ravenous consumers. It’s going to be one very sexy week.”
