Key West Bear Weekend 2027

Key West Bear Weekend turns 10!

In 2027 we’re celebrating our 10th birthday as part of the Big Bear Birthday Celebration, along with some big milestones in the bear community:

• 40 years since the original BEAR magazine was first published
• 1 year since BEAR returned to print
• 15 years of Bear World Magazine
• 10 years of Key West Bear Weekend

To mark the occasion, we’re throwing our biggest and best weekend yet, with special guest host SeattleDad joining us all weekend. Expect pool parties, night parties and plenty of birthday surprises in the beautiful island paradise of Key West.
