Harbour City Bears

Harbour City Bears is Sydney’s only community group for bears – hairy gay men – our admirers and friends. We hold over 140 events each year – with weekly socials, dance parties, dinners and other outings through the year.

• two annual festivals – Bear Essentials during Mardi Gras, and Bear Pride during August, which also attracts visitors from interstate and overseas to participate in Sydney’s vibrant bear culture.
• quarterly dance party Bear Pit and the iconic Underbear during Mardi Gras
• socials every Friday night at The Oxford Hotel in Darlinghurst and Sunday afternoon at The Town Hall Hotel in Newtown
• Press Paws, a monthly gaymer event
  

• community health & well-being events

• fundraising for community charities

The proceeds from our events and fundraising are all invested back into the club, or donated to the community charities that we support.
