MadBear in Madrid is one of Europe’s biggest bear gatherings, drawing thousands of men for a week packed with nightlife, social events, and culture. Held every December, it turns the Spanish capital into a bear hub where international visitors mix with locals across a wide program of activities.
The schedule covers much more than just clubbing. Expect bar fiestas, themed dinners, competitions, cultural outings, and even excursions outside the city. Gay saunas also join in, hosting special events that add a playful edge to the week. Food and drink are central to the experience too, with group dinners and tapas tours that highlight Madrid’s famous gastronomy.
Of course, the parties are the highlight. Several events are hosted by international gay bear party brands, bringing in big-name DJs and distinctive atmospheres. Each night offers something different, from smaller bar gatherings to large-scale club events with light shows and dance floors packed until sunrise. The climax is Saturday’s main MadBear Party, the biggest event of the week, drawing the entire crowd together in one massive celebration.
The mix of nightlife, culture, and social opportunities makes MadBear more than just a party—it’s a festival where travelers can connect, explore, and enjoy Madrid in a uniquely bear-friendly way.
