Hi Beary Friends,
 

 

We would like to share an update about the Melbourne Bear Bazaar and invite your help in shaping its future.
 

 

The Bear Bazaar has brought us so much joy over the years—meeting wonderful makers, celebrating creativity, and watching our furry community grow has truly been a highlight for us. As life has evolved, with new work commitments and family routines constantly changing, it has become harder for us to give the event the time and energy it deserves.
 

 

The Melbourne Bear Bazaar is incredibly rewarding to run, but it does require year-round preparation, and we want to ensure it continues to be as special as ever. With that in mind, we are hoping to find someone passionate who would love to take the lead and carry the event into the future.
 

 

If you’ve ever dreamed of running a creative community event, this is a wonderful opportunity. We would be thrilled to pass the Bear Bazaar on to someone who can give it the love and attention it needs. You would receive everything required—full event rights, the domain, the website, and all supporting materials—and we’d happily sit down with you, share our processes, and help you transition smoothly.
 

 

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, we would absolutely love to hear from you. You can reach us anytime at dean@themelbournebearbazaar.com.au
 

 

If no one is ready to take it on right now, the Melbourne Bear Bazaar will remain on pause. We will continue to hold onto everything with the hope that the event may return when the time is right—either with us or with a new custodian from our amazing community.
 

 

Thank you all for the love you’ve shown the Bear Bazaar. We truly hope that someone with the passion and time to invest in this special event will step forward, and we’ll be here to support you every step of the way.

We would like to say a BIG thank you to all the makers, buyers and supporters during this journey and we are looking forward to seeing you in the future.

We wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.
 

Warmest regards,

Irina & Dean
