Hairy but not-so-scary times await at this annual Provincetown gathering spearheaded by the Northeast Ursamen, an organization for the region’s bear community. Spookybear, held the last weekend of October, is a fun, frisky and festive lineup of events that typically includes tea dances, costume parties, bear dune tours and a boisterous farewell brunch. And even if you don’t typically count yourself among the Ursamen, Spookybear generally attracts a pack of cubs, otters and other admirers of the hot and hirsute to swarm P’town’s party scene one last time before autumn ends. The only horror would be to miss it.
