Mad Bear Madrid 2025

Mad Bear Madrid returns from December 4th to 10th, 2025, hosting Spain's largest international bear gathering. The event will take full advantage of Madrid's Puente de la Constitucion holiday weekend (December 6th to 8th), offering a mix of high-energy parties, cultural events, and fostering community connection across the city's best LGBTQ+ venues.

Madrid's Rich Bear Culture & LGBTQ+ Heritage

Madrid's Chueca neighborhood has been the heart of Spain's LGBTQ+ community since the country's democratic transition in the late 1970s. The bear scene emerged in the 1990s, with venues like Bearbie and Rick's fostering masculine queer expression. Today, Madrid houses one of the largest European bear communities, which is celebrated annually in the holiday season during MadBear.
