LAZY BEAR WEEK 2022

Lazy Bear Fund, Inc. puts on one of the largest and most successful bear gatherings in the world. Lazy Bear Week is our annual, signature event.

For over 25 years we have entertained thousands of guests in Guerneville, California in the heart of Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley.

Attendees enjoy pool parties, dance parties, campfires, live entertainment and amazing DJs. Most Lazy Bear Week revelers stay in local lodges, campgrounds and cabins, or avail themselves of any number of options in nearby towns and cities.

While you’re enjoying your long, lazy weekend, remember that all of the profits go to charity. We’ve raised over $2.2 million for worthy causes and we just keep going!

Join us from August 1st to August 8th for the time of your life!

Frequently Asked Questions
