FURnace is back for an indoor beach party that lives up to its name — no sand, just sweat and a packed dance floor. Built for bears and the guys who love them, this is a night of dancing, flirting, and unapologetic fun. Swimwear encouraged (the less, the better), and the vibe runs from dusk well into the morning. Expect bears, beats, and a little mischief all night.

No judgment, just good music and better company.
