Major Events

We're known for our weekly Bear Social, but we also host other events throughout the year.

  • Bear Pride

    Each year during pride month, we host Bear Pride, a celebration of the bear community and its allies. This event features live music, dancing, and a variety of activities for attendees to enjoy.

  • Kink and Fetish Wear

    Throughout the year, we host a variety of kink and fetish wear events, where attendees can dress up in their favorite kink and fetish attire and socialize with like-minded individuals.

  • Holiday & Seasonal Celebrations

    We don't miss a chance to celebrate the holidays as they come around. With events like Naughty Santa, He is Risen, and May the Force Be With you, there's always a reason to celebrate.
