Teddy Bears’ Picnic

Date: Sep 7, 2025

Location: Assiniboine Park
Time: 9:00 am

Dr. Goodbear, Manitoba’s mascot for hope and healing, is inviting families to a beloved community celebration! Bring your Teddy Bear to the 36th Teddy Bears’ Picnic presented by Johnston Group at Assiniboine Park Sunday, September 7 from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm and the Teddy Bears’ Pancake Breakfast by IHOP beginning at 9:00 am.

Teddy Bears’ Picnic is a Winnipeg tradition started by a group of dedicated volunteers more than 36 years ago. The event will feature more than 20 activity tents, including the Dr. Goodbear Clinic put on by frontline staff from HSC Children’s Hospital, where kids’ teddy bears are triaged and go through a variety of medical tests and treatments including MRIs, X-rays, casting; and the I Want to be a Scientist tent put on by Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba (CHRIM) that encourages imagination in fun science-based activities and showcases how they can be used in medical settings.

Start the day in a delicious way by attending the Teddy Bears’ Pancake Breakfast by IHOP from 9:00 – 11:30 am! New this year: Purchase your $5 pancake breakfast tickets in advance online. Tickets will also be available to purchase in-person at Teddy Bears’ Picnic.

Also new this year: Pre-book your spots for the Dr. Goodbear Clinic and the I Want to be a Scientist tent! A limited number of spaces are available. Advance booking closes on August 31 or when spaces are filled. Walk up visits to both activities will still be available!

And don’t forget to purchase your Teddy Bears’ Picnic 50/50 tickets and support Manitoba’s only Children’s Hospital!
