Born from the legendary spirit of the Bears on Ice festival, RVKBear emerged in 2019 thanks to the passion and dedication of a group of volunteers who believed the celebration should continue. In the heart of Reykjavík, a new chapter began with the formation of Bangsafélagið, or the Bears of Iceland, a non-profit organization committed to nurturing and expanding a vibrant local bear community.
RVKBear is not your average bear run—it’s an intimate gathering with exclusive experiences for our event pass holders. Whether you’re soaking in Iceland’s most famous geothermal lagoons, exploring the Golden Circle, or dancing the night away at our legendary parties, every moment is crafted for connection, adventure, and sheer bear joy.
Join us in 2025 in Reykjavík, the northernmost capital in the world, and be part of this milestone year. The Land of Fire and Ice is calling—are you ready to answer?
