Strawberry Festival and Teddy Bear Picnic returns to Wellington County

The annual Strawberry Festival and Teddy Bear Picnic will be back at the Wellington County Museum and Archives (WCMA) on June 22.

Local producers will help celebrate the festival, alongside local food trucks, various strawberry-themed foods, live music, and activities, crafts, and learning stations for children.

"We're excited to have the Strawberry Festival and Teddy Bear Picnic return to the WCMA for the first time in nearly a decade," said Emily Peters, museum programming supervisor. "This event promises to be a delicious day of entertainment and activities."

A Teddy Bear Caper contest will also be held, so you're invited to bring your bear along.

It all kicks off at 11:30 a.m., running until 4 p.m. The Teddy Bear Caper contest takes place at 1 a.m.
