NYC PRIDE WEEKEND WITH URBAN BEAR:

Fur, Fantasy & Full-Throttle Fun

Thick thighs, dripping pride, and zero apologies — Urban Bear is turning up the heat with a three-day, fur-soaked celebration of queerness, body love, and raw, unfiltered joy.

From belly-worshipping tea dances to rooftop ragers, beer-fueled blowouts, and the legendary Sunset Cruise, this Pride is packed, primal, and proudly plus-sized.


Friday, June 27 — PRIDE KICK-OFF: BIERGARTEN AT THE STANDARD HIGH LINE

848 Washington Street | 5 PM – Midnight

Strap in — it’s time to kick off Pride Weekend the only way Bears know how: loud, proud, sweaty, and thick with heat. This isn’t your average happy hour — it’s a full-scale Bear blowout pulsing with big energy.

Urban Bear’s Pride Kick-Off takes over the iconic Biergarten at The Standard, High Line for a beer-drenched, body-to-body, fur-on-flesh frenzy. Picture shirtless hunks, glistening beards, and deep beats from DJ NOBL3 BEAR under the city skyline.
