Lazy Bear Week is one of the world's longest-running bear events, held every summer since 1996 in Guerneville on California's Russian River. It is organised by the Lazy Bear Fund, a non-profit that has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to LGBTQ+ and health organisations. The week brings pool parties, river days and parties across town, and a Bear Tag pass gives access to the main events.
