Texas Bear Round-Up в Далласе 2026

Texas Bear Round-Up is Dallas's annual bear circuit event — one of the longest-running bear gatherings in the American South, held each March in Oak Lawn and the surrounding Dallas gay venues. The event draws bear community members from across Texas, the South, and nationally for a weekend of parties, social events, and the specific community culture of the bear circuit.

The bear circuit event format — multiple parties over a long weekend, typically Thursday through Sunday, at various Dallas gay venues — combines the social function of a community gathering with the party infrastructure of a circuit event. Texas Bear Round-Up has been running for over two decades and is established as one of the premier bear events on the Southern circuit calendar. The March timing is ideal for Dallas: the extreme summer heat is months away, the weather is typically mild to warm, and the outdoor spaces of Oak Lawn are comfortable for the extended social programme.

Venues for Texas Bear Round-Up events typically include Tracks (for the larger circuit party nights), neighbourhood bars along Cedar Springs, and hotel venues in the Oak Lawn/Uptown area. The event draws participants who stay in Oak Lawn hotels for the full weekend, creating the concentrated social atmosphere of a destination event superimposed on a functioning gay neighbourhood.
