It’s the month of back to school and back to work, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s “back to the grind” as well. With a bit of planning and a lot of ambition, you can have a September packed to the brim with sexy and vibrant festivals around the world. Even if summer technically ends this month, that doesn’t mean the outdoor adventures have to end.

That said, September also features a lot of programming for the leather daddies and daddy bears of our community, so if you’re looking for furry fun, you’re in for a treat. Just remember to leave yourself enough recovery time to buy a Halloween costume.

In other words: Mark your calendars, you won’t want to miss these travel-worthy affairs.
