Community Picnic
Sunday, September 21 2025
Global Friends will be hosting their annual community picnic on September 21st, where we will be celebrating community, culture, and connection! The event will take place at University Park (320 North 25th St) from 5-7pm. Set up will begin at 3:30 and clean up will take place directly following the event. Street parking is available in addition to a small lot by the tennis courts.
Even if you are unable to help with the tasks associated with the event, please consider joining us to share a meal and celebrate. The community picnic acts as a bridge for individuals from different cultures and backgrounds in a relaxed setting that offers opportunities to practice connection outside of formal programs, meet neighbors, learn about diverse cultures and build friendships. Any and all of your time spent towards this goal is greatly appreciated!
