Your guide to
San Francisco Bear Weekend 2024
The Events. The Parties. The Contest.
Welcome Home, Bears!
San Francisco - the home of "Bear Culture"
Once considered a fringe component of the "leather scene", bears are now one of the most recognized parts of the LGBTQ community -and one of the most appreciated. In fact, a recent marketing study estimated that there are more than 1.4 million bear-identifying men in the US alone
From the start, bears were about acceptance, loyalty and inclusion, celebrating body positivity and rejecting narrow beauty standards. Bears are also among the most social and altruistic communities, hosting bear-runs and bear gatherings like Lazy Bear Week, IBC and others - most of which include fundraising elements.
On behalf of our sponsors, vendors and partners, we want to thank you for your interest in the 2024 San Francisco Bear Weekend. Please bookmark this site and return often for news and updates.
