Puerto Rico to Host Brand New Bear Event This October
Many Vacationers are surprised to hear that Puerto Rico has a thriving bear scene that continues to grow year over year. In 2017, The Bear Tavern was opened in San Juan which provided a much needed space for the community to congregate and expand. After a slow start, it became a success as word of mouth spread. The fledgling bar was even able to survive the disaster of Hurricane Maria, but with the onset of COVID, it eventually had to close its doors for good.
As the world steadily returns to normalcy there is no longer a dedicated space in Puerto Rico for the bears to get together….until now. Enter Beary Boricua, a new event that aims to unite the Puerto Rican bear community with their furry brethren from around the globe!
Beary Boricua, taking place from Thursday, October 13th to Monday, October 17th, 2022, is a weekend of tropical fun in the sun where the bears can all get together and put off hibernating just a bit longer. This will be a Bear Weekend like no other, with Puerto Rican sensuality and flair. Join them and their partners for an amazing weekend of activities with the folks at The Bitch Bar, Coqui del Mar Guesthouse and Puerto Rico Gay Tours.
Throughout the weekend there will be exciting pool mixers, parties on the beach and fun filled nights out featuring drag queens and dancing. They’ll even be exploring the Porc Highway, an infamous foodie road trip featured on Anthony Bourdains’ show. Reserve now, space is limited at the host hotels. You’ll definitely want to be a part of this exciting inaugural event!
