When is International Picnic Day celebrated?
International Picnic Day is celebrated every year on 18th June. It offers a wonderful opportunity for all members of the family to stay home or drive out for a wonderful picnic experience.
History of International Picnic Day
The word “picnic” finds its roots in the French “pique-nique” and was prominent in France after the revolution. It offered an opportunity to enjoy informal outdoor food in the country’s royal parks.
Picnics also took on symbolic significance, representing the solidarity of ordinary people in times of political protest, such as the 1989 Pan-European Picnic, which was important in the fall of the Iron Curtain. In 2009, Lisbon hosted a larger picnic by hosting more than 20,000 participants and so it was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Importance of International Picnic Day
International Picnic Day is all about the celebration of togetherness, nature and the pleasures of outdoor dining. Serving as a reminder to take a break from our busy lives, get together with loved ones, enjoy delicious food in beautiful surroundings and create lasting memories with them, International Picnic Day brings us an opportunity to be grateful for Mother Nature. By getting together, we get an opportunity to connect with family and friends and rejuvenate ourselves by spending time outdoors.
