National Picnic Day encourages everyone to pack up their lunch and take it outdoors. Baskets and blankets seem to make everything taste better.

Eating outdoors has a certain charm, so grab a friend, a co-worker, a family member, or just come by yourself and enjoy National Picnic Day under the beautiful shade trees at the park. So, grab a sandwich, or go extravagant and bring a full course meal.

What better way to celebrate the peak of Spring than by observing National Picnic Day at the park.

No registration is required for this event.
