Black Wrestling Network brought BWN live to San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair, meeting fans, showing off the brand, and continuing its push beyond the screen and into live events.

Black Wrestling Network took its place in the middle of one of the country’s best-known fetish and LGBTQ street events Sunday as BWN joined the 2026 Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco.

The BWN booth gave longtime fans and first-time visitors a chance to meet the people behind the network, talk wrestling, see championship belts and promotional materials up close, and learn more about what is happening across BWN.

The appearance also featured special guest Patrick Clark, who joined BWN in San Francisco for scheduled fan appearances during the fair. Clark met attendees, posed for photographs and spent time at the booth as part of BWN’s expanding live-event presence.

The day was less about staging a traditional wrestling show and more about putting BWN directly in front of the community — letting people encounter the network in person rather than only through a screen.

The booth drew steady attention throughout the day, with attendees stopping to ask questions, pick up promotional materials and check out the championship display.

For BWN, Folsom is another step in a much larger expansion into live appearances, special events and direct fan experiences. After more than two decades primarily online, the Black Wrestling Network is increasingly bringing its wrestlers, personalities and distinctive underground atmosphere into physical spaces.

The San Francisco appearance follows the launch of BWN’s Midnight Mayhem live-event series and comes as the network continues developing additional appearances and events around the country.

More from the road — and more from BWN — is coming.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Former WWE star will make two scheduled meet-and-greet appearances with BWN during the September 27 festival.

SAN FRANCISCO — September 2026 — Black Wrestling Network (BWN) will continue its expansion into live public appearances this month when it heads to San Francisco for the 2026 Folsom Street Fair, with Patrick Clark appearing as BWN’s special guest.

The Folsom Street Fair takes place Sunday, September 27, from 11 AM–6 PM in San Francisco. BWN will have an on-site presence throughout the festival, giving attendees an opportunity to meet members of the Black Wrestling Network in person.

Clark will make two scheduled meet-and-greet appearances with BWN during the event. Exact appearance times will be announced closer to the festival.

Fans will have opportunities to meet Clark, take photographs, talk wrestling and interact with the BWN team.

Patrick Clark and Black Wrestling Network

Clark’s Folsom appearance continues a relationship with BWN that began this summer.

In August, Clark joined Black Wrestling Network and launched The Real Realm, an original BWN talk show built around conversations and confrontations with personalities from across the network.

His arrival quickly led to an in-ring confrontation with Trophy Boy Jeff Cutts and ultimately a one-on-one mat wrestling match between Clark and Cutts at BWN SummerGames 2026.

The Folsom Street Fair appearance gives wrestling fans a different opportunity to interact with Clark — this time face-to-face in San Francisco.

BWN Continues Moving Beyond the Screen

The Folsom appearance is the latest step in a significant expansion of Black Wrestling Network’s live presence after more than 26 years primarily online.

On August 22, BWN presented Midnight Mayhem in Atlanta, launching BWN Underground and bringing wrestlers, fans, live matches, photography and original BWN programming together in an in-person setting.

During Atlanta Pride weekend in September, BWN followed with a citywide mobile LED billboard campaign and appeared as a sponsor and exhibitor at Ring of Pride, presented by Renegade Independent Pro Wrestling at 868 Marquette.

Now BWN heads across the country to one of San Francisco’s best-known LGBTQ+ events.

“Taking BWN off the screen and putting our wrestlers and personalities directly in front of fans has opened up an entirely new part of what the Black Wrestling Network can be. Folsom is an extraordinary place for us to continue that, and having Patrick Clark there with us makes the appearance even more special.” — Alex, Black Wrestling Network
