Picnic en Blanc Returns!
Join the Redwood City Parks and Arts Foundation for Picnic en Blanc—a stylish summer pop-up picnic, dance party, and fundraiser all rolled into one unforgettable evening taking place on August 15, 2026!
Dress in your favorite all-white attire with a splash of color and gather with friends for a magical night under the stars. Bring your own picnic dinner, enjoy lawn games, connect with old and new friends, and dance the night away to a high-energy live band playing from 8:00–10:00 p.m.
The fun begins at 6:00 p.m.—and here's the twist: the outdoor location remains a secret until just 48 hours before the event!
Please note: Picnic en Blanc is a 21+ event, so be sure to make arrangements for children and pets in advance.
Come for the mystery. Stay for the music. Leave knowing you've made a difference!
