Key West Bear Weekend 2026
Sobre este evento
Key West Bear Weekend transforms the island into a haven for bears, cubs, otters, and their admirers from October 28 to November 1, 2026. This laid-back, four-day event offers a perfect blend of daytime pool parties and vibrant nightlife, all set against the backdrop of Key West's famously relaxed atmosphere.
The weekend is anchored at the Island House, a popular men-only resort, which hosts many of the main events, including the "Bear Soup Pool Party" and the "Rocky Horror Dive-In Movie." Attendees can expect clothing-optional pool decks, a "Hats & Hoses Pool Party," and the "Jocktober Party" at Bourbon St. The weekend culminates with the "Halloween Ball" at the Birdcage Cabaret, offering a festive end to the celebrations.
This event is known for its friendly, come-as-you-are energy, making it accessible for both seasoned bear community members and newcomers. The smaller scale compared to larger circuit events allows for a more intimate and relaxed experience. It's an ideal time to enjoy Key West's warm weather, welcoming crowd, and lively gay scene, with many events spilling onto Duval Street.
