ABW/American Brotherhood Weekend is back again in 2010!  This year’s edition happens in Chicago, July 16-18.

ABW, a celebration of the bonds we share as a Leather family of men and  women will take place in and around two iconic Chicago Leather institutions:  Touché, one of the oldest and most established Leather bars in the city, and the Leather Archives and Museum, the definitive library, museum and archive of our history as Leatherfolk.

On the final day of the weekend, held in the the main theatre of the LA&M, one outstanding contestant is chosen from each category to represent the honored  titles, American  Leatherman, American Leatherwoman, and American Leatherboy.  These titles personify the core  of  ABW.

ABW has now become a celebration of the bonds we share as a Leather family.  It’s a weekend filled with great excitement, camaraderie, and fun.  And as any of the hundreds of men and women who have attended ABW will say, the key element in all three of those.....is you.

We’ve been working hard to put together a fantastic weekend for you, and we’d love to have you join us here in Chicago.
