City of Darwin Teddy Bears' Picnic is the loudest fun for the youngest audiences.

Round up your family and your favourite teddy for one of Darwin Festival's most beloved events. This year, City of Darwin Teddy Bears' Picnic is turning up the volume and inviting little festival goers to raise their voices and revel in a day of joyful noise on The Esplanade.

Make a kite, share a wish and send it soaring into the sky in Wish Upon a Kite, a joyful hands-on workshop where children create their own kite and record a whispered wish for the world. Watch as these small voices of hope take flight together. Then dive into the playful chaos of Task Party, a series of delightfully loud challenges created by kids, for kids. Will you accept?

Along the way discover music, magic, face painting, roving performers and fun-filled stalls. It's impossible not to get swept up in the joy.
