South America's Official Bear Week returns to Rio de Janeiro for seven days and eight events — parties, tours, and gatherings for bears, beefy men, wolves, daddies, and all those who admire them.
Change up the winter routine — go South this year.
The Milestone
Half a decade of making Rio de Janeiro the bear capital of South America. Five editions of parties, tours, and unforgettable nights — and 2027 is our biggest yet. This is the anniversary you don't want to miss.
About · 5 Years
Woof Week is Rio's only official Gay week for Bears, Beefy Men, Wolves, Daddies, and all those who admire them — an annual week-long festival full of events, parties, and tours.
2027 marks our fifth edition — five years of friendships made, reunions had, and unforgettable nights across Rio de Janeiro. Come celebrate the anniversary with us.
Go South · 2027
If you're escaping winter each year by spending a week with the bears, this year spend it in Rio! Once you land, your money goes further than you'd believe — and you trade the familiar for the best beaches in the world, Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf on the skyline, samba in the streets, and a bear week that fills everything in between. Seven days. Eight events. One Rio, and one vacation you'll fall in love with. Join us in Rio de Janeiro for the experience of a lifetime. Out with the old and in with the INCREDIBLE.
Once you're here, food, drinks, hotels, and rides cost a sliver of what you're used to. Your week goes a lot further in Rio.
Ipanema, Leblon, Copacabana — postcard sand right in the middle of the city, and you'll be on it every day.
Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, Pedra do Sal samba, Santa Teresa — Rio never runs out of things to see and do.
The Woof Pass
The Woof Week Pass is the official pass for Woof Week Rio and gives you access to the main parties of the week, plus exclusive benefits and discounts. Some events — like the OPEN BAR Boat Party — are exclusive to Pass holders, with no individual tickets available.
