CODE Night is an intentional and inclusive space for kinksters, gear heads, and those who like to express their individuality through the wearing of fetish gear in social settings.

CODE Night strives to create and maintain an environment where all people are treated with dignity, decency, and respect. As such, we expect every participant in any CODE Night event - be they attendees, producers, venue staff, entertainers or hired professionals - to behave appropriately and in accordance with this Code of Conduct.
 

INCLUSION
CODE Night welcomes all bodies, colors, ethnicities, gender identities & expressions, sexual identities & orientations, and all persons either 18 or 21 and over. (Age restrictions are mandated by law.)

We provide an all access area at our events, as well as a dress code enforced area.  

Loaner fetish gear is available from the doorman or coat check at no charge.

CONSENT IS REQUIRED
Please be aware of and respect the personal boundaries of others so that everyone can enjoy their time at the event.  Affirmative consent is always required for photography or when touching/interacting physically with others. 

• kinksters know and use their manners

• consent is sexy

• wearing gear is not consent

• being in a sexually charged space is not consent

• NO means NO

Our policy applies to EVERYONE participating in a CODE Night event.  ALL participants are subject to this Code of Conduct.

 

REPORTING
