How many kids actually enjoy tea? The parties hold an allure, but most at-home flights of fancy involve water as a stand-in or nothing at all. It’s really all about the tea set with its dainty cups and saucers and the guest list, with friends of both the stuffed and imaginary variety. Teddy Bear Tea is an event that combines the coveted china with like-minded people and, of course, tea. Participants can also relish a scrumptious brunch and a visit from the holiday season’s most famous mascot. Every child leaves with a teddy bear. 9:30 a.m. and noon Friday, Rialto Square Theatre, 15 E. Van Buren St., Joliet. $15 for kids 12 and under, $20 adults; 815-726-6600 or rialtosquare.com
