MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.—The first annual Grand Strand Affair, a convention catering to kink enthusiasts, is set to take place at a seaside hotel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, November 19-22, 2026.
The event will feature four floors of convention space, two dungeon play areas and a rope dungeon, with social activities including a cigar social, high tea and a gaming room. In addition, the Grand Strand Affair will offer BDSM classes, a curated selection of vendors and a fetish fashion show.
"We're here to offer a supportive safe space for kinky experiences," Grand Strand Affair producer Anne Bryne said. "We welcome those new to BDSM, power players and those who are all degrees in between, in a supportive environment and an inclusive community."
There are over 40 slots for classes in BDSM and sexuality lined up and presenter submissions are already being accepted. International Mr. Leather 2003, John Pendal from the U.K., has been confirmed as a presenter.
Vendors confirmed include Kinky Creations Studio, Regal Rainment, Bound by Jay, Soaring Eagle, Chromaknotz and The Dungeon Store.
"While the holidays will be around the corner, you'll be pleased to know that in November, Myrtle Beach offers lovely weather, with averages during the day in the low 70s, and 50s during the evening," Bryne added. "Every guest room in the host hotel has a gorgeous ocean view, and the beach is a short walk away from the show."
GSA guests can also order concierge dungeon service, where for a fee, couples can book 90 minutes play time in a dungeon, complete with a butler to deliver their toy bags to and from the play area, and clean up is provided by a French Maid on staff.
The Grand Strand Affair is for adults only, 19 years of age and older. Tickets, hotel reservations, presenter submissions and volunteer information are available at grandstrandaffair.com. Updates can also be found through the event profile on Fetlife at fetlife.com/GrandStran
