​
After hosting the world’s bears and many other sexy creatures in Athens during the last three years for "Bearly Athens: a bear week extravaganza," we have taken the difficult decision to indefinitely suspend the festival due to sponsorship and staffing issues. 
We would like to thank all the performers, artists, attendees, venues and organisations that supported us, and shared the Bearly Athens vision with us. We remain one single community and we shall fondly reminisce all the moments of queer joy that we shared together! We hope and dream that we may, sometime in the future, return.
Thank you for 3 years of BEARLY good times. This is truly an UNBEARABLE farewell.
With love,
Matt + Nikolas
