Bear Week Meet & Greet

Kick off Bear New Zealand Week with a relaxed and welcoming Meet and Greet in the beautiful Garden Courtyard of the brand-new Abstract Hotel. This is a casual event designed for you to meet up with old friends and make new ones as we begin the week.

Enjoy some snacks and grab a drink from the bar as you settle in. We’ll start with a karakia (blessing) and a warm welcome from Papa Bear, setting the tone for the weekend ahead.

This is a free event, and no dress code is required—come as you are! Whether you’re attending solo or with a group, this is the perfect place to start Bear New Zealand Week 2025!

And don’t forget—the UnderBear Party kicks off just down the road at 9pm, so consider this the perfect warm-up!
