Oslo Bear Weekend returns this May! Get all the exciting details below courtesy of the Norway Bears.

Prepare yourself for Ragnarök, a four-day celebration of camaraderie, revelry, and Nordic spirit in the heart of Oslo! From May 8th to 11th, bears and their admirers from all over are gathering together for an unforgettable weekend – filled with incredible events, and loads of fun! Whether you’re looking to make new friends at the social events, strip off that heavy armor at Assgård, or let out your inner beast on the dancefloor at Bearserker, Oslo Bear Weekend promises something for everyone!

“After a successful first year in 2024, Oslo Bear Weekend is more excited than ever to expand our event and welcome new friends from all over the globe” said lead organizer Casey Wilson. “This year we’ve not only got more days, more events, and more globetrotting bears from many different countries, but we also welcome new event partners with a local hotel, bar, and adult store – with events at two of them, and award winning breakfast at our host hotel!”

The journey begins Thursday evening with Meet the Bears at Baba Bar, a warm and welcoming gathering to break the ice and kick off the weekend. Share stories, enjoy drinks, and meet your fellow warriors in a cozy setting.

Friday night starts off at the fetish store, Sublim X, where you’ll gather for the official OBW25 Kick-off, providing you all with the opportunity to stock up on gear and kinky accessories, with some complimentary bubbles. Later, the evening splits into two epic paths: the lively Mead Hall at Baba Bar, where you can relax and mingle with fellow attendees, and Assgård at SLM Oslo, a sexy and playful adventure for those ready to embrace their wilder side.

Saturday brings an exciting lineup of daytime events. Start with a rejuvenating visit to Sauna by the Oslo Fjord at SALT, where you can unwind and refresh in the barrel saunas with stunning waterfront views. For more daytime socializing, gather at the Picnic at Fortress, just a 10 minute walk away at Kontraskjæret. Enjoy complimentary hot dogs and soda in the park next to the historic Akershus Fortress.

As the sun sets, the weekend’s energy culminates in Bearserker, an electrifying Saturday night party at Goldie Oslo. Let loose on the dance floor and embrace your inner Norse God – it’s a celebration that will echo through the halls of Valhalla!

On Sunday, gather one last time for the Farewell Feast at Baba Bar. With cabaret entertainment, and delicious pizza from the restaurant downstairs, it’s the perfect way to relax, reflect, and say goodbye to an incredible weekend.

Whether you’re a seasoned bear or new to the scene, Oslo Bear Weekend 2025: Ragnarök invites you to join a community of warriors, lovers, and friends for a weekend you’ll never forget.

Skål to an epic adventure—we can’t wait to see you there!
