Mantamar Bear Week 2026 | Six Days of Sun, Beats and Bear Energy in Puerto Vallarta
Mantamar Bear Week 2026 takes over Mantamar Beach Club in Puerto Vallarta from January 26 to February 1, turning this adults‑only LGBTQ+ oceanside playground into a week‑long celebration of body‑positive fun, community and high‑octane music. Presented by Almar Group, the festival brings together an international lineup of acclaimed DJs, daily pool parties and beachside sessions on Playa de los Muertos in the Romantic Zone, with even more surprises still to be announced for bears, cubs and admirers from around the world.
Between the infinity pool, oceanfront cabanas and signature cocktails, guests can move effortlessly from sun‑drenched afternoons to sunset sets and late‑night dancing, all framed by Vallarta’s iconic bay views and tropical skyline. Whether it is your first time in Puerto Vallarta or a yearly pilgrimage, Mantamar Bear Week 2026 promises a packed social calendar and the kind of vibrant, welcoming atmosphere that keeps the global LGBTQ+ community coming back year after year.
