Why: Created by The Nature Conservancy, Picnic for the Planet is the world’s first ever global picnic in honor of Earth Day. More than 350 cities on six continents will be breaking bread to celebrate the planet we live on, the food it provides and the people we share it with. In short, the planet does a lot for us — we should take it out for lunch!

Visuals: Kid’s face painting, local chef cooking demos, live music, crafts for kids, free giveaways, play on the lawn, families picnicking, and vendor and community booths
Instructions for the perfect picnic:
1. Bring a blanket, camping chairs, or nothing at all. Grass is very comfortable!
2. A picnic basket is a nice touch, but not necessary. Coolers and bags work well too. Please use reusable containers and recycle.
3. Support the Farmer’s Market vendors by buying local fare for your picnic or simply make and bring your own.
4. Invite your family, friends, and loved ones. Eat together and enjoy each other’s company. Celebrate nature.
