Bearracuda Seattle Turns 15 With Big Party At The Cuff

February 28, 2023• byMichael Strangeways

My, oh, my…how time flies. It seems like just yesterday that the insanely popular dance party for the Bear community, BEARRACUDA came to Seattle. In reality, it was FIFTEEN years ago, (when I was just a youth of 22…or so) that producer Matt Bearracuda established the Seattle spin-off of the event originally created in San Francisco in 2006.

Since then, Matt has produced Bearracuda events in over 60 cities around the world with several cities, including Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, San Francisco, LA, and Denver seeing multiple parties happening frequently throughout the year. The brand has branched out to doing cruises as well.

To celebrate Bearracuda’s 15th Anniversary, the party will raise the roof at their Seattle homebase at The Cuff Complex on Friday, March 24th with DJs Matt Consola and Freddy, King of Pants with hosts Hunter Harden and Matt Bearracuda himself.
