Tallinn Bearty

Tallinn Bearty is Estonia's bear culture festival, a long April weekend that has grown from a club gathering into one of the Baltic region's most distinctive LGBTQ+ events - the 2026 edition was its 13th. The format is a citywide crawl: a men-only spa and pool kick-off, themed pop and retro nights at X-Baar, late-night afterparties, a classical salon concert in the medieval House of the Blackheads, plus talks on bear culture, HIV awareness and community health. It draws bears, cubs and admirers from Finland, the Baltics and well beyond, taking over Tallinn's small queer scene for four days. Check bearty.org for the next edition's program and passes.
