You and your beary best friends will start the fun at the Glendale Visitor Center and pick up your map; coupons and gift bag (for the 1st 500 visitors) and take a spin on our themed prize wheel.

Hop on board the cool and comfortable Glendale Express Shuttle, which will provide rides throughout Old Towne and Catlin Court. Visit boutique stores, specialty shops, and downtown eateries for special offers and discounts.

Teddy Bear Picnic

Enjoy an afternoon picnic with your best friends and furry friends. Pack a lunch or pick up lunch from any of our downtown eateries and enjoy an outdoor picnic in Murphy Park or on the shaded lawns of Catlin Court. Pick up your picnic location map at the Glendale Visitor Center.

Al the Bear

Al the Bear will be stopping by during Teddy Bear Day. This loveable, huggable bear will delight all including the young and young-at-heart! Be sure to bring your camera to get a picture with this beary special guest!

Donate a New Teddy Bear!

Another important part of the event is the Teddy Bear and Toy Drive to benefit the Glendale Fire Department, the Glendale Crisis Response Team. The Visitor Center will be accepting new teddy bears. The bears must be in original factory packaging. The teddy bears will be used for the Trauma Teddy program. The bears are given to young children who have been involved or witnessed a traumatic event to help comfort them as only a snuggly teddy bear can do.
