About Mates

A kick-back, have a good time, meet some hot new friends weekend for those who want to hang out, socialize, relax or party with other like-minded people in Leather, Rubber and Uniforms.

Mates Leather Weekend is brought to you by Rick Conley, longtime Provincetown resident and leatherman. I want to thank all MLW sponsors, friends and past participants who have contributed to the success of Mates Leather Weekend. I’m grateful for all the new friends that I’ve made along the way.

I take great pride in the quality of men and women that attend MLW. There is no attitude here, just folks that are down-to-earth, friendly, and nice to look at. It takes a lot of effort to put on an event like this. I hope you enjoy it.

What They Are Saying

I'm just writing to say what a really great time my boyfriend, Mike & I had. Thanks so much for going to all that trouble to put together such an amazing weekend. You guys do an incredible job. I had so much fucking fun! I can't wait for next year.

Paul & Michael | NYC

Once again you did a great job. Excellent organization, friendly and courteous staff. Had a wonderful time and look forward to next year.

Robert | Superior, CO

My ass and my ego want to thank you. Both are probably a little swollen but there is still a big smile on my face.

Mates 2017 was one of the most fun weekends we've EVER had! Dates for 2018? I want to get it on my calendar ASAP.
