Even though the event is over three months away, Provincetown Bears have announced this year’s Bear Week in the Massachusetts getaway has been canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 threat. Bear Week Provincetown is traditionally one of the busiest weeks in the Provincetown summer season. The event draws in gay bears and big boys from all over the world. Originally scheduled for July 11, 2020 – July 19, 2020, the weeklong program of pool parties, dance parties, comedy shows, and leather events didn’t look feasible with the social distancing guidelines that have been announced for the foreseeable future.

Power Bears!!!
Final pic to post from Bear Week in Provincetown this past week:
Both Andy Towle (of Towleroad) and Joe Jervis (of JoeMyGod) shared this pic featuring Andy, his cohort Michael Goff, Joe, Armistead Maupin and husband Chris Turner and the very woofy Pennsylvania state Rep. Brian Sims.
If you don’t already, you should be following Andy and Joe on their blogs. These two guys do it better than anyone; and with very singular voices. Really what blogging is all about.
Of course, Armistead Maupin is a legend in the literary world.
And, well, what is there left to say about Rep. Brian Sims? Sims for President!
Looks like everyone had a great time this week. Hoping to make it there in 2015. Thanks for carrying on, guys, and sharing the view.
The hunky men of Well Strung apparently brought it last night at their Provincetown concert for Bear Week.
The all-male string quartet Well-Strung features classical musicians who sing putting their own spin on the music of Mozart, Vivaldi, Rihanna, Adele Lady Gaga, and more.
Talent AND they look like that? Great formula for success 🙂
It’s Bear Week in Provincetown! Tons of folks I know are enjoying the fur fest all week long.
In honor of Bear Week, I’ll be posting the pics that catch my attention as I sulk here in Las Vegas, unable to get to the P-town party this year.
First up – the woofy Pennsylvania state Rep. Brian Sims, who shares this pic today via Facebook.
Brian will be hosting a fund-raiser in P-town at the Sage Inn & Lounge tomorrow, July 15th, from 1-2pm.
Stop by and help raise money to re-elect Brian Sims to the Penn state Assembly. And get a good look at Mr. Sims in person 🙂
Here’s the info for the event:
Excited to announce the VIP reception in support of the reelection of Pennsylvania State Representative Brian Sims in P-TOWN, July 15.
This intimate reception includes an open bar, a national political update by Representative Sims, and a special photo opportunity.
A contribution of $250 per guest is requested.
