Picnic en Blanc 2019

PICNIC EN BLANC

Join us for Nanaimo's annual "Picnic en Blanc." Here's a chance to dress up (all in white, of course) and have a marvellous time in a beautiful setting.

Picnickers assemble on Saturday, July 20 at 5pm, rain or shine. Toutous allowed.

ROAR's Picnic en Blanc is more than just an excuse to dress up. It's a fun way to bring people of all ethnicities together — sharing food, drink and laughs, creating memories, and building community. White contains the entire rainbow, and dressing in white is a symbol of the solidarity of the rainbow community. We promise a unique experience.

Guests are asked to show up in their finest white clothing. Please bring a foldable table, chairs, white table linens, dinnerware, cutlery, and assorted gewgaws. There will be a prize for the most fabulous table arrangement. So be creative!

Tickets are $30 per person for a gourmet boxed picnic dinner. You may optionally choose a vegetarian meal.

(Sorry, because of strict licensing regulations you can't BYOB to this event. Red or white wine will be available for purchase on site.)

Don’t have a table and chairs? That will bring the cost to $40 per person (includes boxed picnic, regular or vegetarian).

There will be entertainment and raffles to delight all. And don't forget that prize for the best-trimmed table.

We hope you will enjoy picnicking with us. This is a charity event, so tickets are non-refundable. 100% of net proceeds from this event will go directly to sponsoring LGBTQ refugees.

We gratefully acknowledge the event is being held on the traditional territory of the Snuneynuxw people.
