Harbour City Bears have 15 furry events for you at their 23rd Bear Essentials festival – HOMO BEARECTUS – held during Mardi Gras 2019.
Our extra special Union event for the month sees us crown Mr VicBears 2019 on the 26th, and the ever popular Underbear Dance on the 27th sees the bears dancing into the small hours of the night.

“Sure, we have more than our fair share of burly men with hairy chests, but bears are a diverse group of men and you will feel welcome.”
