Bear Carnival is much more than Europe’s biggest bear party programme—it’s your gateway to adventure on the spectacular island of Gran Canaria. From sun-soaked beaches to breathtaking mountains, our exclusive island tours promise unforgettable experiences designed specially for the bear community since our very first event in 2015.
New to Gran Canaria?
Maybe you thought Gran Canaria is all about gay nightlife, yout it’s not. Picture this: after your flight from mainland Europe, you step into paradise. Yes, Gran Canaria welcomes you with vibrant nightlife at the world-famous Yumbo Centre, home to hundreds of gay venues bustling with activity every night. By day, explore the expansive Maspalomas Dunes and the iconic gay beach, basking alongside hundreds of fellow bears under the gentle winter sun. But Gran Canaria is also about unbeatable natural diversity—from sunny beaches and lush valleys to volcanic landscapes—, a rich native civilization, a even richer colonial past, a unique cuisine and much more. Bear Carnival will guide you to discover this all with your new bear friends!
