Got a free weekend and a passport? Good. Here's where the bears are heading next, and where you should probably be too.
August
Mad.Bear Beach Festival
Two weeks on the Costa del Sol. Beach days, pool parties, boat trips and club nights until your feet give up. Mr. Mad.Bear gets crowned at the end, so bring your best growl.
September
Sitges Bears Week
The big one. Europe's biggest bear gathering, full Bear Village on the seafront, packed beaches and the Mr. Bear Sitges contest. Once you've been, you get it.
BearScotFest
Bears in kilts, whisky tastings, pub crawls and a community that feels like coming home. Cosy, friendly, and yes, it gets a bit loud.
November
Bear Pride Cologne
One of Europe's classics. Parties, sauna nights, the Mr. Bear Germany contest and a city that knows how to host a good time.
December
Mad.Bear Madrid
Close out the year right. International crowd, full week of parties, and Madrid at its festive best.
January 2027
BeefDip Bear Week
Start the new year tropical. Pool parties, beach days, boat trips, karaoke and the legendary BeefDip energy, all for a good cause too.
February 2027
International Bear Convergence
Desert sun, pool parties, tea dances and drag shows under the palms. Thousands of bears, one very busy weekend.
March 2027
Lauderdale Tropical Bear Week
Beach parties, rooftop pools, themed nights and boat cruises. Wilton Manors turns into one big bear playground for a week.
April 2027
Maspalomas Bear Carnival
One of the sassiest events on the calendar. Pool parties, boat trips, spa days and nights at the Yumbo Center.
May 2027
Sitges Bears Week, Spring Edition
The chill little sibling of the September event. Beach days, Bear Alley, good company and way smaller crowds.
That's the lineup so far. Pack light, pack often, see you out there.
