Join us on 21 October 2023 from 10am-2pm for the annual Teddy Bear's Picnic! After a few years off due to COVID and floods, Forbes Shire Council is hoping this will be our best one yet! 

This event features amusement rides, food vendors, activity stalls, face painting, circus performances, balloon twisting and more! A full program will be provided closer to the event, so watch this space for a full list of performers and special guests!
