Description
The Teddy Bear Parade one of Oregon City's signature events. It’s a one-hour processional over a 1.10 mile route. The Teddy Bear Parade has been a community highlight for Oregon City and the entire county for the past 15 years. The Parade ends at the Pioneer Family Festival at Clackamette Park.
The Teddy Bear Parade gathers new teddy bears/stuffed animals that are given to law enforcement agencies, fire departments, emergency rooms, children’s hospitals and women’s shelters in Clackamas County. These stuffed animals are then distributed to children through out our community who need comfort in times of crisis. The parade is also a time for us to honor our community’s emergency personnel who protect the entire community.
