Attentions Bear-Mart Shoppers!


Welcome to Atlanta Bear Fest 2025!

We have finally gotten all the details worked out for 2025 and look forward to seeing you in a few months!!!

There are a few notes and changes for this year to address. A few issues have come up in the past, so please read as this applies to everyone without exception.

  1. All ABF'25 attendees must be staying at the host hotel with their name registered to a room (this is for insurance reasons as well as this a Marriott rule).
  2. All ABF'25 attendees must also have a VIP Ticket to attend.
  3. When you book your hotel room, a 1-night deposit is required (this is fully refundable up to May 30, 2025)
  4. No refunds will be given on the room or the VIP Ticket after May 30, 2025 for any reason (we understand things change for many reasons, but to be fair to everyone, no exceptions will be made to this rule).

For those of you that may not know, we are a 100% volunteer group. Everything over operating cost goes to charity. That’s why we must have a firm date on cancellations. At that point, money has been spent for supplies needed for ABF. We had several last-minute room cancellations last year resulting in some guys who wanted to be there not being able to attend. Hopefully this will fix that issue and is a general rule for most events. We hope you understand.

To recap, You must have a room at the host hotel, be registered in that room, and have a VIP Ticket to attend. A 1-night deposit is required when you book your hotel room. No refunds on the room deposit or VIP Ticket after 05/30/2025 for any reason.

We are excited about this year and can’t wait to see our wonderful ABF family again soon!
