Bear events are coming back!
At the beginning of 2020, we released a few articles highlighting some of the best bear events to look forward to in 2020. Little did anyone know at the time that 2020 would be CANCELLED!
For a little over a year now, we have been in isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But, with vaccines rolling out all over the world, it’s only a matter of time before we return to a long-awaited sense of normality where we can get together, mingle and experience great times!
Many of our favorite bear events have scheduled returns for later this year, in hopes that we will be in a much better place by then. We are excited to share with you a few of the awesome bear events around the world that will be making a return this year!
