Belgium Bear Pride
About This Event
Belgium Bear Pride is an annual event that celebrates the bear, cub, and admirer community in Brussels. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and diverse range of activities, it has grown significantly since its inception, formerly as Mr. Bear Belgium. The event typically spans several days, offering a mix of parties, social gatherings, and cultural moments. Attendees can expect club nights, brunches, a guided city tour, and the highlight event, the election of Mr. Bear Belgium. The Splash sauna party at Oasis is also a popular attraction. The festival aims to create a welcoming space for connection, identity celebration, and community values, embracing all facets of masculinity within the bear community. The theme 'Bear Folies' emphasizes freedom and diversity in expressing masculinity. It's a key event in the European bear calendar, drawing participants from across the continent.
