Oregon City Teddy Bear Parade

The Teddy Bear Parade is a one-hour processional over a 1.10-mile route and an Oregon City family and community tradition for almost 30 years with fun floats of all sights and sounds!

The parade gathers teddy bears and stuffed animals that are then given to law enforcement agencies, fire departments, emergency rooms, children’s help centers, hospitals and women’s shelters in Clackamas County. These stuffed animals are then re-homed to children throughout our community who need comfort in times of crisis.

Where do the bears come from?
Participants decorate and people from the community are encouraged to come and gift bears to decorate the floats.

The parade is also a time for us to honor our emergency personnel who protect the entire community.
