Picnic in the park 2019 (Vancouver Pride Society)
The event, which will take place at Ceperley Park, is set to run on July 21 between 11 am and 5 pm.
Originally called the Teddy Bear Picnic, the event has a history stretching back decades.
The Teddy Bear Picnic allowed LGBTQ2+ community members to gather safely in an outdoor, public space and celebrate their Pride, a phenomenon that was unusual for the time.
Picnic in the park will take place after the Pride Run & Walk 2019, and will feature an exciting array of family friendly activities.

Everyone is welcome at this event, especially families. Attendees can grab a post-event drink at the new Stanley Park Brewing Brewpub, bring a picnic or treat themselves at one of the several amazing food trucks serving up an array of dishes and desserts with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options.
Food stalls include Meet2Eat, El Cartel, Chickpea, Roasted Revolution Food Truck, The Praguery, Come Arepa, JAPADOG and Dolce Amore.
