Prepare for a whimsical afternoon of fun as the highly anticipated Teddy Bears Picnic returns to Vickers Park on Tuesday, July 11, from 12 - 4 pm. This cherished community event promises a delightful experience for families and teddy bear enthusiasts of all ages.

The Teddy Bears Picnic has been a tradition in Thunder Bay since the early 1980. Families are invited to bring their favourite cuddly companions and enjoy an afternoon of exciting stage shows, a cozy reading area, tantalizing food vendors, and community groups providing engaging activities.

“We are thrilled to bring back the Teddy Bears Picnic to Vickers Park,” said Louisa Costanzo, Supervisor of Cultural Development, Community Programming & Events. “This event celebrates joy and togetherness; the day will be filled with unforgettable fun, entertainment and laughter.”

The Teddy Bears Picnic is open to the public, and admission is free. Families are encouraged to bring their own blankets, chairs, and their cherished teddy bears or stuffed animals.
