The annual teddy bear picnic, hosted by the farmers' market, is set for Saturday, July 26 this year.

Looking for something fun to do with the wee ones? 

The Burnaby farmers' market is hosting a teddy bear picnic on Saturday, July 26, and the yearly event is a big hit with the kids. 

"We do it every year. It's become a tradition actually, the kids really love it," said market manager Lyn Hainstock. "We have a lot of children in Burnaby. We have three markets, and Burnaby is the one that has the most kids."
 
The picnic starts around noon. There will be small teddy bears hidden around the market, and the children can hunt for them and keep one for themselves. After that, they gather for juice, cookies and story time. 
 
The market, which runs every Saturday, is in the Burnaby city hall parking lot at 4949 Canada Way.
