BEARS ON BOARD

04/10/2026

Hey all!

Just a little info for all the new followers here as I’ve been getting messages about this page and the parties etc.

Bears on Board / BOB is the annual cruise which takes place once a year in July on MsEmma.

TED is our monthly party on land at H₂O₂ starting this month, and will continue until next spring. We have 2 parties planned until end of this year.

Both BOB and TED are men only events, the latter is geared towards ALL men (including our t-brothers), whereas BOB is known for its bear-identifying, furry loving atmosphere.

I hope this clears out some confusion and answers questions regarding our events - hope to see you all soon, big hugs and big kiss,

-A.

Wow. Just wow. I know these pictures are just snapshots of yesterday and they don’t do justice to all the feels I have for what just happened. You guys were unbelievable! What a connection we have, what a community we have. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- Helsinki is truly a magical city, we are so blessed to have these events and get togethers - let’s keep the same spirit up, let’s raise and support each other and come together in the future too!

I am healed.

Jopo Simeon K is a gender-fluid and genre-fluid DJ based in Helsinki. After partaking in the q***r nightlife of São Paulo and London during early to mid 2010’s, Jopo eventually picked up DJing in order to channel on to the dance floor their always evolving love for electronic music and has been a regular feature in Helsinki nightlife ever since.
While their early days of DJing focused mainly on house, disco and synth pop, they soon started expanding into deeper, darker and faster sounds of techno, acid, trance and breakbeat. Hypnotic grooves and nods toward the 80’s and 90’s have been their main sources of inspiration since the beginning.
Over the years, with BPM ranging from 90 to 150, Jopo has learned to adapt their style into various situations and has performed at several well-known night clubs, local underground joints, Pride celebrations and music festivals of all shapes and sizes. Jopo Simeon K

Always a rebel. Always a bridge-builder.

Emerging from the deep north of Finnish Lapland, Mr.A found his way to Helsinki’s dance floors over three decades ago - and never left. A solid fixture in the q***r nightlife since the DIY rave culture of the 1990s, he
helped shape Helsinki’s scene through clubs like Nylon, Kerma, and DTM.
Throughout the years, Mr.A has stayed in step with the evolving rhythms of hlbtiq++ culture, constantly reinventing himself while nurturing new
generations of dancers and night creatures. antti
