Oslo Pride House
Huddle Up
Huddle up and meet the bears before the big game begins! Get to know the Norway Bears and fellow Oslo Bear Weekend attendees in a relaxed meet and greet at our weekend home base, Oslo Pride House. Not sure where to go? Keep an eye out for the large, themed OBW flags outside The Agenda, Oslo Pride’s regular bar. Once inside, head straight through the bar to the backyard, where you’ll find a reserved and accessible venue ready for all the bears and their friends.
And don’t forget to check out The Agenda bar, which serves as a great meeting point between events this weekend! Whether you’re meeting up with new friends or just looking for a place to unwind, The Agenda is a welcoming place for all during OBW: Sportsball 🏀🏐🏉🏈
Friday, May 8
19:00-21:00
Sublim X
Kick-Off
Alright boys, the whistle’s been blown and it’s time for kick-off! OBW 2026 is proud to once again partner with local fetish wear boutique, Sublim X. If you haven’t picked up your weekend wristband yet, now is the time. Once you’ve got your wristband (and surprise goodies 😉), grab yourself a complimentary beverage, check out sexy items from across the globe, pre-game with fellow bears, and gear up for the night.
Wristbands will be available at the counter throughout the evening, but feel free to stop by beginning Wednesday for a head start.
21:00-02:00
Oslo BDSM/Nonna
«Jockstrap» fetish party
Are you an athletic supporter? Then you’ll feel right at home at JOCKSTRAP, the sexiest party of OBW 2026. Throw on your sexiest outfit (sports theme encouraged, but not required) and come inside a very welcoming, intimate venue perfect for checking out exactly what your teammates are packing. Self-service coat check available at the venue.
Remember that gear does not equal consent. Always check in and get clear permission before touching or engaging with anyone.
Important info: JOCKSTRAP is hosted in an intimate venue with space for 80 players at a time, which means there may be a brief line during busy moments. If you’re looking for a more relaxed, fully clothed hangout while you wait, the Locker Room Lounge is just a 7-minute walk away at Oslo Pride House.
21:00-02:00
Oslo Pride House
Locker room Lounge
Looking for a casual night out where the jerseys stay on? While some of your teammates are out playing with their balls nearby, we invite you to the Locker Room Lounge. Back at Oslo Pride House, this is the place to be for relaxed locker room chat and lively social atmosphere with fellow OBW attendees. Fully clothed, low pressure, and perfect for bears who prefer good company and friendly banter over breaking a sweat.
Not sure where the Friday night lights will lead you? We’ve got you covered! All events are included with your wristband, so you'll be able to move back and forth between the parties. It’s only a 7 minute walk between venues.
Saturday, May 9
14:30-16:30
SALT
Sauna By The Fjord
One of the most popular events of OBW that has quickly become a yearly tradition is a nice hot afternoon in the sauna to rest and recover before another big event day. While not a gay sauna in the traditional sense, we’ve reserved an entire floor of Norwegian barrel saunas, with rooms for 4–8 people and one larger sauna for up to 12.
This outdoor, public facing sauna space is a great way to unwind from last night while enjoying views of the Oslo Fjord, the famous Oslo Opera House, and even a little sneak peek of a brand new location for a very special dance party later this evening 😉

16:30-18:30
KontraskjÆret
Picnic On The Field
Hot dog! After you’re all loosened up from the sauna (and maybe JOCKSTRAP, we don’t judge) we’ll meet just a 10 minute walk from the sauna for a friendly picnic in the park. We’ll provide a dog in a bun for everyone, some light snacks, and a beverage to wash it down with. Craving something specific? Bring it on! We’ll leave a little extra space on the grill for you.
21:00-02:00
MS Bjørvika
«Superball» Dance party
We’re having a good time, we’re having a ball. A 🏉SUPERBALL🏉, that is. Get ready for the biggest event of the weekend as we take over the our first floating venue right in the heart of Oslo, the MS Bjørvika party boat 🛥️
In an Oslo Bear Weekend first, we partnered with the UK’s premiere monthly bear bash, BEEFMINCE, to bring over renowned bear DJ, producer and singer DJ Kevin Blurred!
We’ll start the night on the upstairs deck under the city lights, with plenty of room to lounge, dance, check out a performance, and ease into the evening as the night sets sail (don’t worry, we stay docked). As things heat up and we inch closer to midnight, we’ll move downstairs to the main dance floor where the beats get heavier and the crowd gets closer.
NOK 150 (Bamseklubben members) / 250 (non-members)
Free entry with weekend-pass
Sunday, May 10
13:00-16:00
The Scotsman
Sunday Brunch
It’s the OBW finale! Join all your newest and oldest bear friends for a relaxed Sunday afternoon with the Sunday Brunch at Scotsman, one of Oslo’s most iconic gastropubs right on Karl Johans Gate.
Take a left once you enter and head up the stairs to the second-floor area where you’ll find a welcoming social atmosphere and some short interactive performances, perfect for some last goodbyes over delicious food. Speaking of food, Scotsman will be serving a brunch made just for the bears with a la carte options to fill you up before you go. Just order at the bar!
