Wet Fur

Centurian Sauna throws open its doors for some furry fun from 3pm. To get in the mood we will have a DJ playing from 8pm til midnight. Tickets are discounted to $21 for anyone with a Bear New Zealand Mates Rates card (see Ticketing/Contacts).

Bear Drag at Caluzzi - SOLD OUT!

The fun starts at Kamo at 6pm. Teams will dress volunteer runners in drag, who will race down K Road to Caluzzi. The winning team will receive a special prize.

At 7:30pm the Caluzzi girls will be turning on the glam with a VERY special dinner and show including a musical number by the URGE Bear Divas, appropriately beautified.


URGE UnderBear Party

A special mid-week outing for URGE's most infamous party night. DJ Mauri and special guest Matt Effect will be providing the hot sweaty music.

These parties bring together a huge cross section of Auckland’s gay community. Tickets are $10 each and are available only on the night. First come, first served. No pre-sales unless bought as part of a package (see Ticketing/Contacts).


Dots Bingo

Dots is a familiar friend in a new location. Peter and Rodney are welcoming the bears with a special night of Bingo with some top prizes.

Running concurrently at Dots will be a showing of art pieces by talented local bear artist Christopher Jannin, creator of both the Bear New Zealand and URGE Bar logos.

Start time is 7pm and this is a free event.


Mr URGE New Zealand Bear 2010

One of URGE's biggest nights of the year as we search for New Zealand's official entrant into the Mr Australasia competition at Southern HiBearnation in Melbourne in June. Who will follow in Mike's footsteps this year? Entrants from URGE have won prizes in Melbourne in three of the last four years, including two grand champions! The winner gets return flights to Melbourne and you can enter by .

This is a free event. Doors open at 9pm.


Tri-Nations Party at 4:20 Bar

THE big night of celebration for Bear New Zealand! We are promising a no-attitude pumping night of fun as we welcome three of the hottest DJs on the planet. From the US, and making his Southern Hemisphere debut, comes DJ Rotten Robbie, who has been spinning for over 20 years to sold out crowds across California. From Australia we have hot new talent Matt Effect who has wowed crowds in Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne and more recently at Lazy Bear in the US. And of course, quite possible the longest running resident DJ in New Zealand - URGE's very own DJ Mauri, who has been playing up a storm at the bar for 12 years.

This event is not just for bears, it is for everyone looking for a great night out with great company.

This is a ticketed event, tickets will be $30 pre-sale, or $40 at the door (see Ticketing/Contacts).
