BOSTON BEAR AND CUB CONTEST

Each fall, Mass Bears and Cubs hosts a competition to crown the next Boston Bear and/or Boston Cub, selecting titleholders who will represent the MBC community. For over a decade, these remarkable individuals have not only shown up at social gatherings but have also organized and taken part in numerous events benefiting the LGBTQ+ community. The first Boston Bear competition was held in 2011 by Mass Bearz, our predecessor group. Since then, Mass Bears and Cubs—and now Mass Bears and Cubs, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit—has continued to produce this celebrated event.
