About Bearracuda SF Pride 2026

Bearracuda SF Pride 2026, the "Beefcakes" edition, lands in San Francisco on Friday June 26, 2026, and it is the LGBTQ+ bear party the city's been waiting on all Pride weekend. The long-running national Bearracuda crowd rolls into Public Works at 161 Erie Street, tucked in the Mission right where it brushes up against SoMa. Note the change for 2026: this one is at Public Works, not The Stud, so set your map accordingly. Doors run 9:00 PM to 3:00 AM, a proper all-night affair. Expect a warm, body-positive, come-as-you-are room packed with bears, cubs, and the admirers who love them. DJs Tony Moran and Mateo Segade trade booming house and dance sets while go-go dancers work the platforms, all under the easy hosting of Matt Bearracuda. This is one of the friendliest, least pretentious queer parties on the calendar, the kind of night where nobody's checking your look at the door. Grab tickets in advance through sickening.events, because Pride dates pull a heavy out-of-town crowd. It is 21+, so bring valid photo ID. Getting there is simple: Public Works sits a short walk from 16th Street Mission BART and the J-Church Muni Metro, and a rideshare from the Castro or SoMa is quick. Tap your Clipper card and bring a layer, because late-June nights here can turn cold fast once Karl the Fog rolls in. One local tip: this is the Friday kickoff for the bear crowd, the warm-up before the weekend's bigger blowouts, so come early and pace yourself.
