It’s all about the experience.
They’re pulling no punches when it comes to this event. There will be a variety of installations for eventgoers to experience. One of which is the Gloré Holé Café, an opportunity to order erotica inspired dessert through, you guessed it, a glory hole. Want to dabble in a bit of S&M? KINK will have interactive installations where you can receive a few lashes or a little rope-play.
The fun doesn’t stop there. The night will also feature fetish installations, body painters, burlesque and erotic performances, and more. All administered by their KINK experts from Florida Community Boot Black, Florida Leatherboy 2019, Electro and Impact Play, Male Review Tampa, among others.
Our events team is working hard to deliver an experience that goes beyond the visual art so that guests to have a KINK experience that is personal to them. The amazing art will draw our guests to this event but the entertainment will definitely keep them there.
