In an effort to connect children and families to our parks, the Charleston Parks Conservancy is once again hosting its annual Teddy Bear Picnic. This free event encourages families to get outside and take advantage of Charleston’s vast network of more than 120 parks and green spaces.

Activities include Teddy Bear first aid station, crown making, seed planting, face painting, cookie decorating, environmental education, booths with worms and more. John Cusatis will provide live music and other entertainment will include dancing and hula hooping. Food will be available for purchase or families are welcome to bring a picnic. The afternoon wraps up with a Teddy Bear parade. Don’t forget your bear!
