The picnic dates back to the French revolution when public parks were made available people gathered. On Bastille Day in 2000 the French set a record by arranging a whopping 600-mile-long picnic!

But as we know, it’s not just the French that like a picnic. For many countries around the world, picnics are a great way to bring communities together.

An array of colourful picnic food, a red kettle, blue barbeque, on a red and white checkered blanket. On grass under a tree with pink flowered bushes in the background.

Here are a few links I found interesting if you wanted some inspiration:

Do you have any plans for a picnic anytime soon? And if so, do you have any tips to share?

If you don’t, this post might inspire you. It's great getting together with people you care about, enjoying food and drinks, and maybe even a game or two can be a great way to connect.
