POP-UP PICNIC

October 2021
Mint Museum Randolph, Charlotte

 

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the Pop-Up Picnic has been postponed to 2021.

Come spread a blanket and enjoy a relaxing evening outside with family and friends in support of our local green spaces! This free community picnic is open to all and takes places just steps away from land protected by Catawba Lands Conservancy and the Briar Creek Greenway.

Enjoy your pre-ordered picnic basket meal, bring your own picnic meal or purchase dinner from one of the onsite food trucks. Enjoy live music and family activities. Wine and beer from Blue Blaze Brewing and Lenny Boy Brewing Co. will be available for purchase at the Picnic! (No outside alcohol is permitted at the Mint.)

The 4th annual Picnic celebrates the importance of conserving our local green spaces and and the connection between local farms and local food.  Proceeds benefits Catawba Lands Conservancy and the Carolina Thread Trail.
