Fire Island Bear Weekend – June 10th, 11th and 12th 2016

Presented by Shane Tate, Beards & Bears Take Over Fire Island

If you have heard of Fire Island, you may think its for the pretty boy preppy set. Well no more, Shane Tate has created an amazing Bear Weekend this coming June! With all the elements you expect for a major Bear Event, tea dances, time for hitting the beach and a Mr. Fire Island Bear Contest.

After a successful launch last year, the event is ready to entertain all the bears, again. As next magazine said of last year: “The bears were out in full force. Everywhere you looked, fur was on display. Beefy, hairy men were rubbing each other down with suntan lotion on the beach, drinking cocktails at Cherry’s on the Bay, and dancing the night away at the Ice Palace.” Its sure to be just as fun again.

Bear weekends are a great place to meet new friends, and all kinds of people who might not be bears. Shane wanted me to make sure that unlike one certain Bear Weekend, who keeps trespassing everyone, Fire Island bear Weekend welcomes everyone and does not tolerate exclusion of anyone. We love our bears whether they are tall, short, wide, thin, hairy, bald, muscled or soft and cuddly. If you wear a nuns habit and raise money for charity you will most definitely welcome too!

Check out the schedule below, and head to the website WWW.FIREISLANDBEARWEEKEND.COM  for more info on lodging and how to get to Fire Island.

its going to be a GREAT new addition to the Bear Weekend circuit.
