Bear-Necessity has firmly established itself as one of Amsterdam's most popular and well-regarded parties, drawing a vibrant crowd of bears and their admirers not just from Amsterdam, but also from across the globe. As their promo proudly states, "Everybody is welcome to our attitude free party!" This core belief in creating a no-attitude event, where people can freely meet, dance, and socialize, is central to its success and the relaxed atmosphere it fosters. The event's passion for quality is evident in its music, boasting a reputation for "uplifting, sophisticated and fun" tracks, with DJs from both the main circuit and the underground scene putting an emphasis on playing quality and unique selections.
Now hosted at the fantastic Panama Amsterdam, the event benefits from a maximum capacity of 1150 people and an excellent Pioneer new sound system, enhancing the renowned musical experience. Visitors frequently describe Bear-Necessity as a place where people come to enjoy themselves and "dance the night away," and the organizers even humorously admit to seeing "many 'new' couples for the night leaving for home together," highlighting the event's success in fostering connection. Bear-Necessity stands out as a key fixture in Amsterdam's LGBTQ+ scene, celebrated for its welcoming vibe and commitment to a truly enjoyable party experience.
