Get Ready For Lauderdale Tropical Bear Week!
Lauderdale Tropical Bear Week will take place from March 5 – 10, 2024 in the bearadise of Fort Lauderdale & Wilton Manors and we’ve got all the details!
Formerly known as Bears in the Alley Tropical Weekend, Lauderdale Tropical Bear Week (LTBW) is making its triumphant return after reinventing itself to be bigger and better than ever! Bears already know that the gayborhoods of Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors are extremely hospitable to our community and that they also serve as home to some of the hottest and furriest men in the US; so it should come as no surprise that LTBW is continuing to grow in attendance and popularity. Plus, its taking place right at the end of the winter when we’re all sure to be pawing at ourselves (and each other) for some fun in the sun (and with each other), so the timing is perfect!
Hosted at the beautiful Marriot Courtyard in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, travelers can relax in comfort at a property that is but 5 minutes to the beaches and the Eagle Wilton Manors where a few of the official events will take place. (Click HERE for reservations). The Ed Lugo Resort and the Solstice at Wilton will serve as overflow hotels for the week.
Organizers have lined up premium entertainment with performances scheduled from the one and only Crystal Waters and the legendary Varla Jean Merman. There is also a fantastic lineup of DJs slated to spin at the events including porn director extraordinaire DJ Chi Chi LaRue. Currently VIP and Regular Weekend Passes are on sale with a la carte ticketing scheduled to begin soon. VIP pass holders will have access to exclusive events, bars and buffets that regular pass holders will not have access to.
