Belly Rub Weekend 2023 is entirely run independent ly by individual community members who have been vetted by the Grommr team .*\n\nhttps://bellyrubweekend.com/\n \nWelcome to the second ever Belly Ru b Weekend LA! The bread and butter of this event is boys\, bellies\, bars\ , food\, food\, and more food. Think of this weekend as vacation just with more gorging\, and in the company of fellow gainers and encouragers. Many choose to come early and straggle behind as they explore the host city wi th locals or other newcomers. Planning your getaway gainer trip is half of the fun\, as it puts you into contact with other attendees to join you\, meet you\, and arrange transportation together. We are excited to make thi s our biggest year yet.\n\nBelly Rub Weekend founded in 2011 became a popu lar annual gainer event that attracted guests from all over the United Sta tes\, Canada\, and even Europe since it’s inception. BRW would continue to be hosted in Chicago until 2023 where we announced the first ever Belly R ub Weekend Los Angeles. The event began after the founders hosted a succes sful picnic in 2010\, with one attendee describing it as\, “Way more guys than I expected gathered at a picnic site and brought grills\, chairs\, an d of course TONS of food. It was a great day filled with fun\, gorging\, l awn games\, and even a magic show.” From what started as a picnic would co ntinue into an official event created and continued as a labor of love by gainers and encouragers. BRW’s first event the following year became disti nctly known at the time for having a new kind of model for gainer events\, planned around activities and meals throughout the city instead of at a h ost hotel. We are excited to continue this tradition with a West Coast fla ir.\n\nThis event is 18+ however bar events will be restricted to 21+\n\n\ nBRW Itinerary \n\nTHURSDAY MAY 16TH\, 2024\n\nBear Happy Hour LA (Optiona l)\n5pm-9pm
