Get naked at the best nude events from around the world
More and more people, it seems, are discovering the joy of naked freedom. Shedding your clothes and baring all is the ultimate de-stressor and while many people get naked on remote nude beaches or travel to a foreign nudist resort, it doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg to get the same liberating buzz. There are many events around the globe where you can remove your clothes without the high costs. Here’s our list of top nude events from around the globe.
Since its inception in 2003, World Naked Bike Ride's focus has been on reducing our dependence on cars while emphasizing the vulnerability of cyclists and promoting body acceptance. But what started as a protest, feels more like a carnival nowadays.
Increasing public and media interest has seen the WNBR expand to 70 cities in 20 countries around the globe – from Australia to the US , Brazil to the UK – with more cities hosting their own rides each year.
Although the event is a “naked” bike ride, nudity is not mandatory; in fact, “Bare as you Dare” is the guiding principle here. Many riders sport creative body paint, some ride topless others au naturel. Although the event is nude, getting to and from the venue requires you to be dressed so be sure to take a backpack to keep your clothes handy.
Participation varies depending on location and weather; only half a dozen showed up in Cape Town in 2008 but 10,000 got on their bikes in Portland in 2015. A typical WNBR event is in the hundreds. The next rides are scheduled for July 2020 (northern hemisphere) and March 2020 (southern hemisphere.)
If you prefer foot power to pedal power, check out the 7.46-mile (12km) run from San Francisco Bay through downtown and ending at the breakers on the ocean coast.
The annual Bay to Breakers race takes place on the third Sunday in May (May 15, 2020). Although this is a sponsored event with world-class athletes competing, it’s also something of a large fete with many of the 70,000 or so runners, joggers and walkers sporting costumes or participating nude.
If the idea of running naked through a major downtown city with 80,000 spectators cheering you on appeals to your sense of adventure, signup and snag local accommodation early – the event sells out quickly.
Spencer Tunick is an American photographer renowned for shooting “human installations” – large groups of naked people typically in the middle of a large city.
From Iceland to Russia, Australia to the UK and many states across the USA, Tunick has been shooting installations for 25 years. You'll have to get up very early and likely be cold for a while, but it’s a unique opportunity to get naked with hundreds of other like-minded strangers for a few hours in the name of art.
Register on Tunick’s website to get on the list for an upcoming shoot.
Water lovers, this is the event for you.
The American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) declared the second Saturday of July (typically the last Sunday at the end of National Nude Recreation Week) International Skinny Dip Day. Organized events take place at numerous nudist resorts and nude beaches across North America and Europe, check the AANR website for locations.
If you can't get to an organized event, make July 11, 2020 the day to lose your swimsuit and inhibitions in your backyard pool or a secluded spot in a river or lake.
Every year, thousands of people gather in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to create – and then remove – a temporary city in a collaborative expression of creativity, art and self-expression. It’s not a festival per se, more of an experience which you create by connecting with yourself and others.
It’s an opportunity to be as free as you please so if being nude for a week is your thing, go for it. Nobody will bat an eyelid as others will be topless, naked or clothed – here it’s live and let live. Early purchase of tickets is advisable. Next year’s event is August 30 – September 7 2020.
We’re all quite familiar with the annual Running of the Bulls in Pamplona , Spain, but there’s a more sedate and far safer event that takes place on the same route two days before.
The Running of the Nudes (well actually it’s more a stroll) is a march to protest cruelty to animals in general and bullfighting, specifically. The marchers are naked save for many wearing plastic horns or a red scarf. So if you feel strongly about such causes, lose your clothes, put on your plastic horns and be sure to show up on the right day.
A growing number of naturist resorts are organizing annual 5K races throughout the summer.
As the popularity of these events has spread, races now attract serious runners who, in many cases, are going nude for the first time. The races have gotten so official they’re advertised in running magazines. The 5K is a great way to try social nudity while doing something enjoyable. And guys, no – it doesn’t hurt to run naked and ladies, if you need to wear a bra to run – do so.
Races are usually “clothing optional” and take place within the grounds of a nudist club or resort so the only spectators will be people there for the same reason as the runners – to enjoy life naturally. Most resorts allow participants to stay for the remainder of the day and enjoy the facilities.

One of the best to have played the game, Serena Williams was a part of ESPN's first Body Issue in 2009. "My thighs... I think they're too big and also my arms. I think they're too muscular. They're too thick. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and am, like, I want to lose my inner thigh,” the 20-time Grand Slam champion said about her muscular body. (Photo: ESPN)

Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova posed naked for a Czech Magazine in support of orphans. "I took part in this cover picture in today's DNES magazine to help an important charity for orphans. It's a campaign in the Czech Republic to raise awareness and money for the orphans," the player wrote on her Facebok page with a picture attached. (Photo: DNES)

Athletes posing nude for magazines and other photo shoots show us another dimension of their fearless, bold and athletic selves.
They are a novel idea but are no more of shock value because of the sheer number of modern sports persons who agree to get photograph bare-bodied.
Here is a list of athletes, some of who just turned up the heat while some created ripples with their bold photos. Scroll down to find out who these athletes are...
Arguably the best tennis player in history, Serena Williams has gone nude for a fashion magazine cover.
It's a stunning photo shoot for Vanity Fair magazine, where she has been photographed in the nude in her pregnant avatar, adding just that much more drama and intrigue to the pictures.
But this is not the first time that that the 23-time Grand Slam champion has posed naked.
Earlier, in February this year Serena was part of a sizzling photo shoot for Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue and boy did she turn up the heat!
There are a host of other modern athletes who have done photo shoots for various mazagines and covers.
One of Serena’s buddies on the tennis circuit, Caroline Wozniacki posed nude for the cover of ESPN magazine’s ‘The Body Issue’ . The elegant picture, that shows her feigning a return shot, was posted by the Danish tennis pro on her Instagram page on Tuesday.
'Proud and excited for this one! Thank you #ESPNBody for the cover!!', she wrote on her Instagram account.'
Like, Serena, Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has also done two nude photo shoots, one of them along with former girlfriend Irina Shayk.
The most recent photo session that was done in April this year, was shared by the Real Madrid star on social media with a strategically positioned hand ensuring that family audiences don't get put off.
'Soon', he captioned the photograph in which he can be seen resting on a chair flashing his bare torso and legs while resting his right arm behind his head.
But the one that got everyone's attention and eyeballs was the shoot he did with his then lover Shayk.
The photos, clicked for Vogue Magazine in 2014, showed the chemistry that the couple shared. It was hot, hot, hot.
Ronaldo's physique and six-pack got all the girls swooning and wanting more.
Two years ago, another tennis star, Swiss Stan Wawrinka bared it all for ESPN magazine’s ‘The Body Issue’ .
The then French Open champion was pictured playing his famously brutal one-handed backhand return, STARK NAKED!
Speaking about the photograph, Wawrinka had told ESPN , “I'm not a model at all. I don't work out to go to the beach, I work out to play well and to do well on the court.”
"This was more about the challenge for myself," he said in an interview to USA Today .
Three-time NBA champion Dwyane Wade sent temperatures soaring when he stripped down for the Body issue of ESPN magazine in 2016.
In a statement earlier, the magazine had revealed that the issue was a big leap outside Dwyane's 'comfort zone,' as the basketball star had always been 'insecure about his body as a child that he refused to swim without his shirt on.'
In 2013, Polish tennis star Agnieszka Radwanska was photographed naked while sitting beside a swimming pool filled with tennis balls.
The photograph showed Radwanska cover her private areas with her arms and positioning.
However, the then World No 4 came under fire in her largely Catholic country with priests and a Catholic youth group calling her behaviour immoral.
But her intention was "to help encourage young people, and especially girls, to exercise, stay in shape and be healthy."
Another big name from NBA is Boston Celtics' guard Isaiah Thomas, who was featured in this month's Body Issue of ESPN Magazine.
