International picnic day
The word “picnic” probably gets its origins from the French language, specifically from the word “pique-nique”. It is believed that this type of informal outdoor meal became a popular pastime in France after the French Revolution in the mid-1800s when it was possible again to get out into the country’s royal parks.
One of the more famous of these was the Pan-European Picnic that took place in the summer of 1989 at the border of Austria and Hungary.
In 2009, the Guinness Book of World Records made note of the record for the largest picnic in the world. It took place with more than 20,000 people in Lisbon, Portugal.
International Picnic Day that is celebrated annually on June 18. International Picnic Day is a day to commune with nature and enjoy a lovely summer.
Celebrate International Picnic Day by getting outside and enjoying nature with friends or family! It’s an opportunity for us to take a break from our daily routine life and enjoy some time in the outdoors. We will be able to share food, laugh together, and play games- all while appreciating each other’s company.
Remember to take care of our planet by packing reusable dishes and utensils. Don't throw trash at picnic spot. Don’t make mash there to make others inspire.
