Important Days

From bustling cities to serene countryside, families and friends worldwide gather to celebrate International Picnic Day on June 18, a tradition that brings communities together under the open sky. The concept of a picnic is believed to have originated in France after the Revolution. The term “pique-nique” first appeared in print in 1692, and it referred to a group of people who brought their own wine to a restaurant.


      Over time, the term evolved to mean a social gathering where each attendee contributes a dish, and these gatherings began to take place outdoors.
