During the weekend and indeed well beyond, XXL, El Horno, Man Bar, La Villa and Runway form the nexus of “Bear Alley”, the nickname given to Calle Joan Tarrida and a nightly gathering spot for bears from all over the world. The bear village typically arrives on the first Monday of the week. Early evening the bears meet on the streets of C Bonaire and Joan Tarrida with many people gathering on the corner of Bears Bar and visiting the different bars along the streets. Typically most festivities on the first weekend leading up to the opening of the village.
The event attracts guys of all ages and types and many new friendships are made and old ones rekindled.
The Mr Bear Sitges competition is also held on the final weekend of the event. There is also a dedicated bears village by the beach with shows, dj’s and more. There are parties and events held throughout the entire village. Sitges Bears Week has grown from a group of bears wanting to have a party to an international event that fills the town of Sitges during the first two weeks of September.
