A NEW TRADITION IN BIG BEAR

As AIDS/LifeCycle marks its final ride in 2025, we’re building something new: a fresh, inclusive tradition in the heart of Southern California’s most scenic alpine destination. Big Bear in August is more than just beautiful weather—it’s the opening note of a growing summer pride movement in the mountains. From Big Bear Romp to new community-led events, this weekend sets the stage for something big and bold.
