Northern California Mid-Summer Gathering 2026
Early bird discounts are available, Register NOW
Plan now to join CMEN celebrating the warm, clothes-free days of summer at the Northern California Mid-Summer Gathering July 20 – 26, 2026, at a secluded 400-acre retreat center in California’s scenic Sierra Foothills east of Auburn.
This all-male, all-nude event will include pool activities, scenic hikes, a variety of seminars and workshops, themed social hours, evening shows, dances, parties, lots of nude men and MUCH MORE!
CMEN’s first Northern California Gathering, held in August 2014, was a great success with 100 men attending. The following Northern California Gatherings have also been a huge success with about 130 men attending each one. We made new friends and had a great time together.
We think you will greatly enjoy CMEN’s Northern California Mid-Summer Gathering!
Social Hour & Evening Themes
Just for fun, the social hour parties and evening events have a different theme each day. While nudity is still the overall rule, gathering attendees are encouraged (but not required) to wear accessories that correspond to the theme for the social hour and evening. Social hour “costumes” can range from a simple cap or hat to the outlandish.
Visit the Social Hour Themes page for this year’s themes.
