Bears have balls
The Harbour City Bears have just released a promotional video for next year’s Bear Essentials festival.
With the theme It’s A Whole New Ball Game, the festival will run from February 11 to March 4 next year, alongside the Mardi Gras season.
The video, which shows some of Sydney’s best-known Bears getting sweaty on the field, in the gym and in the locker room, was directed by Brian Walker Catchpole and produced by Scott McInnes. Grant Cook took care of the Bear Essentials 16 logos and graphics.
The Star Observer will again produce the official Bear Essentials guide that will come free with your copy of the paper, which not hits the streets from Cairns to Melbourne every Friday.

LGBTQIA+ media is under threat. Queer content is censored by tech conglomerates who amplify bigotry and push out AI slop — so we receive less financial support than ever.
When our community is muzzled and intolerance intensifies, we need queer media more than ever. Your donation means we can continue paying queer journalists to write queer news.
Don’t rely on the straight lies of big tech – support Star Observer instead and donate now.
