Picnic in the Park is Parks & People’s signature fundraising event, activating our campus with live music, vendors, and entertainment! In 2024, together we raised over $100,000 to support our mission to spark wonder through play, education, and nature, creating a community of environmental stewards for a healthier Baltimore. Help us grow our impact this year!

Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, food, and community as we transform our outdoor space into a vibrant, open-air experience. From build-your-own charcuterie boards to delicious fare from local favorites, every detail is curated to spark joy.
