Rehoboth Beach Bear Weekend 2020

Rehoboth Beach Bear Weekend 2020

Bears will find more than a few reasons to let some sand in their fur at the end of September.

With a full roster of events and entertainment, this annual weekend is becoming famous for its huge attendance and cool activities.

It’s sponsored by the Rehoboth Beach Bears, a nonprofit organisation that holds social events and fundraisers throughout the year.

The weekend’s events include (but are not even remotely limited to) a TAILgate dance party, a beach party at Gordon’s Pond in Cape Henlopen State Park, a show by stand-up comic ANT and a closing party at the Purple Parrot.

Plus, there are pub crawls, bear happy hours and more.

There is no need to hibernate in the city with this line-up waiting at the beach. The weekend happens to coincide with the classic Delaware AIDS Walk through town and on the boardwalk.

Bear Weekend is not just for fun — it’s a charity fundraising event as well. Last year, organisers were able to get their paws on more than $8,500 for local charities, thanks to the weekend attendees and sponsors.

About Rehoboth Beach

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, which is one of the top gay beach communities in the United States. This charming small town may only have a year-round population of about 1,400, but this number expands to 25,000-plus in summer, and you’ll find a remarkable number of fun bars and restaurants with significant gay followings. During the day, Poodle Beach is where the beautiful boys, masculine men, and everyone in-between go to frolic. Find it by going south down to the end of the boardwalk at Queen Street, and turning toward the ocean. (Later, keep your ears open for the legendary house parties at night.)

For strong drinks from post-beach on—and probably the best outdoor patio seating in the entire resort—check out gay-fave Aqua Grill. Blue Moon becomes the hub of Rehoboth nightlife. Its roof retracts, opening the space to the sky above and giving new meaning to the term dancing with the stars.

Here are the Hotels we recommend that keep you close to all the action,

The Bellmoor Inn,   Avenue Inn,   Canalside Inn,   Beach View Hotel.
