Sydney Launch Event
Come along to The Bookshop Darlinghurst at 6pm on Friday 26 September to celebrate the release of this sexy new calendar from Queensland! Meet photographer Dylan Hodgon and a model or two from the calendar - then kick onto Furry Fridays at The Oxford Hotel, the Harbour City Bears' very popular social event.
The QLD Camping Bears 2026 Calendar is a stunning visual journey through the year, captured once again by the incredibly talented Dylan Hodgon of HDGImage Photography and Design. Dylan’s lens brings to life the joy, connection, and wild beauty of our community in nature—every image a love letter to queer resilience and outdoor adventure.
Visibility starts at home—and in 2026, this calendar is bringing it to the burbs with pride, purpose, and a whole lot of bear hugs. This calendar is a heartfelt tribute to the LGBTQIA+ community, created to celebrate our presence in the everyday rhythms of suburban life. With the theme “Bears in the Burbs,” each page captures the joy of belonging—whether bears are mowing the lawn, tossing the footy, or hosting backyard barbeques. In a world where representation matters more than ever, this is a proud reminder that we’re here, we’re visible, and we’re thriving.
The creation of the 2026 calendar was made possible through the generous support of Brisbane Pride, whose grant funding helped bring this project to life.
