Calling all teddies – and their families! We’re back at The Esplanade for a big day out for the littlest arts lovers.

City of Darwin Teddy Bears’ Picnic is your chance to experience the sights, sounds and tastes of Darwin Festival in a program of free fun activities designed especially for families.

Spread out on the lawn and catch a show on the stage, wander the range of stalls, get involved in artistic adventures and of course indulge in some tasty treats. There’ll be music from Alice Springs singer Sally Balfour and alt-country queen Fanny Lumsden, a magic show from Hyper the Clown, Drag Queen Storytime, fairies, bubbles, (biodegradable) balloon art and so much more.

Bring the whole family – and don’t forget your favourite cuddly toy!
