Teddy Bears' Picnic
The Teddy Bears' Picnic is coming to Mullumbimby - and this one comes with circus tricks.
On Saturday 28 March, Spaghetti Circus and the Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce are throwing open the gates of the Mullumbimby Showground for a free community afternoon that's been designed with families in mind.
From 1:30pm to 3:30pm, kids can try their hand at real circus skills guided by Spaghetti Circus coaches. A showground-wide treasure hunt will keep young adventurers moving, while a colouring-in competition add even more colour to the afternoon.
Pack a picnic rug and settle in - there's a café on site serving coffee and cold drinks while you watch the kids play.
A community raffle with prizes from local businesses runs alongside the event, helping raise funds for Spaghetti Circus's preschool program, which welcomes children from as young as two years old.
Entry is completely free and no registration is needed.
Just bring your bear, bring your family, and come ready to play.
Program
Welcome to the magical day your kids and their teddy bears have been waiting for. We've packed this event with so much fun you won't want to miss a moment - so arrive at 1:30pm and stay for every bit of it.
Check-in and Get Set Up
Your first stop is the Spaghetti Circus check-in table, where you'll grab your name tags and get registered for the afternoon. This is where the adventure begins - come ready to play.
Gather on the Mat
We'll bring the whole community together for a welcome on the mat. This is your chance to meet the Spaghetti Circus family, find out what's in store, and soak up the buzz of a Showground full of excited kids, happy parents and very important teddy bears.
Performance by the Spaghetti Circus Emerging Artists
Before you get your turn, watch our talented Performance Troupe take the floor. These are Spaghetti's young circus stars, trained right here in Mullumbimby - and they are absolutely worth seeing.
Warm Up
Now it's your turn. We'll get everybody moving with a whole-group warm-up before the real action begins.
Circus Circuit
Kids rotate through a series of circus skill stations led by Spaghetti Circus coaches. Juggling, balancing, tumbling - hands-on, high-energy and completely beginner-friendly.
Teddy Bear Class
Your child's teddy bear has been waiting patiently for this moment. In our special Teddy Bear Class, kids and their bears learn circus moves together - because every great performer needs a great partner.
Big Group Bear Acro Balance
The showstopper. The whole group comes together for a spectacular acro balance sequence, kids and teddies working as one. This is the photo moment of the day - have your camera ready.
Teddy Bear Parade
Bears and their people take a victory lap in the Teddy Bear Parade. Pure joy - and one of those moments you'll talk about for years.
Treasure Hunt
Now for the moment the kids have been waiting for. We've hidden treasure around the Showground - search carefully and you might just walk away with something special.
Picnic Under the Trees
Spread out your rug, unwrap your snacks and take a well-earned rest under the trees. The café is on site with coffee and cold drinks, so grown-ups can breathe and chat while the kids come down from their circus high.
Raffle Draw and Colouring-In Prize Announcement
We'll close out the afternoon by drawing the community raffle - with prizes donated by local businesses - and announcing the winner of our colouring-in competition. Raffle tickets in hand, fingers crossed.
Teddy Bear Display at the Museum
Following the event, the Brunswick Valley Historical Society will host a teddy bear display at the Mullumbimby Museum for a few weeks. If your bear would like to be part of it, get in touch with them directly.
Teddy Bears’ Picnic Community Day entry is free. No bookings required. Arrive at 1:30pm and enjoy every moment - this is an afternoon you won't want to miss!
