Bare in the Woods
At Jones Pond, we strive to provide a welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere for men of all backgrounds. During our annual Bear Weekend, we continue building unity and acceptance within our thriving bear community. We celebrate hairy, heavyset men and others who identify with bear culture and bear lovers alike. At Jones Pond, we always embrace body positivity.
We're excited to host the Buffalo Bears, one of our favorite guest groups, and we openly invite all men who connect with the bear community to join us in fostering camaraderie during this weekend. On Saturday night, don your most daring attire for our "Bare If You Dare" dance party - a celebration of self-expression and body confidence.
We look forward to welcoming both new and familiar faces to our Bear Weekend festivities. Come as you are and get ready for a weekend of fun, acceptance, and building connections within this supportive community. Jones Pond is proud to create a safe space for bears and their admirers to let loose, embrace their authentic selves, and make lasting memories.
