Harbour City Bears is Sydney's only community group for bears - hairy gay men - our admirers and friends. We welcome diversity and accept all people regardless of size, hair, age, gender, race or religion. Currently we have over 1200 members making us the largest Bear association in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere! We hold over 150 events each year, all community run and not-for-profit.

Bear Essentials is the Harbour City Bears' annual festival held over Mardi Gras, which has been running since 1995.
