One of our biggest events is back for another year.  'UnderGlow' is back!  Welcome to UnderBear with a UV / glow twist.  This was a sellout event for Brisbears in 2022, so get your tickets early.  This is one glow party you are not going to want to miss.   Wear a jock that's white or fluro coloured, or a harness that glows or is UV reflective. The Bunker Bar will glow with a myriad of UV colours and shades of white. Fluorescent green, pink, yellow, and orange are the UV colours that will light up your night. Your music master for Underglow is the incredible Pup Riff, who will be on the decks from open till close. Our favourite cloakers, Frontrunners will be manning the cloak room for the night. Dress regulation for the night will be underwear (jocks, boxers, jock strap etc) with no pants. T-Shirts and singlets can be worn, but you will find that after a while being in your underwear ends up being your preference. Underglow, Saturday the 19th of August from 9pm in the Bunker Bar of the Sportsman Hotel, Spring Hill.  

Please join Mr Bear Queensland for his charity fundraiser event Boy Bands and Girl Groups on Ekka Eve!  DJ Buzz William will be spinning the decks to all your fave popstars.  All proceeds will go towards Mr Bear's chosen charity Minus18.  This event is all inclusive, everyone is welcome to attend!
