Bear Carnival 2023 Canarias

Info

Bear Carnival Maspalomas takes place from 18th to 26th March 2023.

Most European LGBT beach destinations are located in the sunny Spain, such as Sitges, Ibiza and Gran Canaria. In the latter case, this includes a nice subtropical, summer-like weather… even in mid Winter! Thanks to a vibrant gay community enjoying this climate, Gran Canaria hosts the biggest gay event calendar in the World. After Pride and Winter Pride, Gran Canaria’s most important gay event is also Europe’s largest programme for bears. But wait: it has nothing to do with any other “bear week” you may have heard about before! Bear Carnival is also the World's only one-week complete bear holiday.

Say hello to “Bear Carnival”, held every March just after the World-famous Canarian carnival in Maspalomas, Europe’s largest beach resort. Well beyond the usual disco party and pub crawl driving most bear festivals, Bear Carnival’s programme comprises around 40 events, including Europe’s biggest bear pool parties, excursions to discover this subtropical paradise, fine dining experiences, luxury spa evenings, cabaret shows, a speed dating party… all organized around a crazy bear carnival with a new theme each year. 2022's one will be “Greeks and Romans”. Highlights include a one-day cruise on one of the biggest catamarans in the World, retrofitted as a floating disco for the occasion, and of course the usual set of daily house sessions and sex parties at the legendary men-only clubs in Maspalomas. Moreover, all this will be available at the reasonable, VAT-exempt prices of the Canary Islands.
