Woof Week Key West announces details for its Spring 2026 event

The organizers of Woof Week in Key West have announced details about the next event. It takes place April 21-26 in and around Island House, one of Key West’s best-known and well–rated gay resorts.

Woof Week is a joint promotion between Bear World Magazine and Island House. The two also team up to host Key West Bear Weekend in late October each year.

Island House is a clothing-optional, luxury resort just for gay men. It features a range of rooms, a couple of two-bedroom apartments, a heated pool, a 24-hour café and bar, a 24-hour health club and spa, and an outdoor jacuzzi, among other amenities.

Woof Week will offer daytime pool parties and nighttime debauchery. The schedule includes a daily Hook-Up Happy Hour (also open to non-residents of Island House), a Jockstrap Pool Party, and shopping experiences at local businesses.

There are evening parties at Saloon 1 and The Birdcage Cabaret (the latter featuring special guest DJ James Anthony), along with a “Wreckers Ball” on Island House’s open-air moon deck. This will feature “slings, benches and cages”… so you get the vibe, right?

The week will be hosted by two adult performers: Alex Tikas and Jason Tazarian.

“I’m a two-time host for this event,” Tazarian tells GayCities. “And let me tell you, it keeps getting better each year! The dungeon party [at Saloon 1] is an all-new event that I am very much looking forward to attending.

“This year, we added a second host with Alex Tikis. I’ve worked with Alex at other events, but nothing like this one! You’re with Alex and I basically every day. We’re in the pool, we’re gonna be interacting, you get to meet us, talk to us, and hang out! At the last event, I was by the pool, basically every day, naked. 

“I can’t tell you how amazing Island House Key West is. It’s the only clothing-optional resort that offers food and alcohol 24 hours. You basically don’t even need to leave the resort. It has almost everything.”

All access passes are now available for the week. These include free entry to all parties, a six-day pass for Island House (for those not staying there), discounts at several Key West retailers and restaurants, plus a goodie bag of merch and sponsored items. Early-bird passes are available between now and the end of 2025 for $125.
