San Juan Bear Weekend
About This Event
San Juan Bear Weekend is a relatively new affair, a five-day getaway to Puerto Rico's capital organized by Bear Milk, a bear party crew from New York. It debuted in February 2025, and the second edition took place from 12 to 16 February 2026. For East Coast bears, it's a winter escape - not a long-standing local tradition.
The 2026 programme gives you an idea of what to expect: it kicks off with a Meat & Greet party at Club 303, followed by a beach day and a leather night. The Bear Milk underwear party is at Kweens Club, and there's a pool party at Jardín al Bosque, hosted by Anthony (@Cruiseship13). El Purgatorio serves as the late-night bar for the weekend.
US citizens can fly in from the mainland without a passport.
The 2027 edition is set for Thursday 11 to Monday 15 February 2027 (Presidents' Day weekend), according to the schedule on sanjuanbearweekend.com, with tickets through Eventbrite. The schedule page has a couple of day/date typos, so check the organiser's Instagram for the final party line-up.
