With lockdown rules slowly easing, this International Picnic Day might be just what we all needed after months and months of online interaction only.
Set on June 18th, the International Picnic Day's origin is not really known. However, that doesn't mean the day itself is unknown. Many people across the globe recognize this lovely little event and celebrate it big time!
Actually, "according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world's largest picnic was held in , Portugal, on June 20, 2009. Over 22,000 people attended this picnic organized by Realizar Impact Marketing and Modelo."
How exactly do you celebrate this unofficial holiday? It's fairly simple! Grab a basket, your favourite food, snacks, perhaps even some bubbles or wine if you're of age, call your ride-or-die group of people, and let's find the perfect picnic place together!
There's no special 'tick-off-list' for you to fulfill to properly celebrate this day. The main thing is to go out and enjoy your food! And if your local lockdown restrictions don't allow the 'go out' part just yet, you can always spread a blanket in the middle of your living room, and enjoy the food with your family, roommates, dogs and cats, all by yourself (for some peace and quiet) - it's your pick, really! The number of options is infinite. Actually, let's chat about that a bit more...
→ Would you prefer to go out for a picnic or stay in?
→ If you opted for going out, what would your prefered picnic location look like? (Go crazy and don't be afraid to think globally!)
→ If you opted for staying in, would you make it special by building a pillow fort or would you be content with a simple blanket?
→ What kind of food and drink is the best for picnics, in your opinion?
→ Would you make a picnic playlist for this special occasion? If so, what songs would be playing on repeat?
→ Have you ever tried having an online picnic with your friends/family during quarantine? If so, how did it go?
