The popular Teddy Bear's Picnic is returning this year, and on a Saturday.

This year's event will include more 28 activities and rides for the children including a crash course, bandage a bear, face painting and unicorn land, to name a few.

"We are overwhelmed by the success of previous picnics, and cannot wait to bring our biggest and best to the community so far," Forbes Shire Council Mayor, Phyllis Miller OAM, said.

"Local businesses and community organisations have also joined us to bring this special day together.

"Without their continued support we wouldn't be able to bring an event such as this to fruition."

Taste of Greece, Sweet Three Vintage Van and BBQ by Forbes Lions Club will all be on site.

Coffee by Larz and an ice cream van will also be available to supply treats for big and little kids alike.

Children are asked to bring along their favourite teddy to participate in the Teddy Bear parade. Each child will receive a token for participating. Make sure you have your name tag on your bear!

The musical performances on the day will feature Mainly Music, Maddi Collits and Georgia Sideris who will get the children ready to have some fun. Both Forbes North Dance Troupe and Kristen's Dance Studio will also perform.

"Food and refreshments will be available on the day or bring a picnic," Mayor Miller said. "It is a lovely event the whole family can enjoy for little to no cost."

"This year's lucky door prize is an amazing one, a three-piece swing set donated by Bunnings, and a Toy Library membership," Mayor Miller said.

"The prizes will be drawn at 12.40pm and the winner must be present on site to receive it."

Teddy Bears Picnic forms the council's celebrations of Children's Week and the picnic starts at 10am and concludes at 2pm.
