A celebration of bear lifestyle and culture

Once a year the Bear Men of Adelaide unleash a week long festival of bear art, theatre, music and spoken word.  Bears from around Australia converge on South Australia to make new friends, and enjoy our beautiful city.

Bearstock is held during the Adelaide Feast Festival, South Australia’s LGBTIQ cultural festival.

We acknowledge that we meet on Kaurna land and pay respect to Kaurna People past, present and future.
