International Picnic Day, one of the fun ways to enjoy the summer, is marked on June 18 in many countries all over the world, although its origins are uncertain.
Though the origin of the International Picnic Day is unknown, it is believed to have arisen in the period towards the end of the French Revolution and the Victorian Era. By the 20th century, outdoor picnics were common in England. The exact origin of International Picnic Day is not known but it is generally accepted as an informal food holiday that is an escape from formality.
The day encourages people to spend the day outdoors and enjoy the company of other people. Various charity events are also conducted on this day and schools use this opportunity to organize picnics for their students.
The day is celebrated in various interesting ways outdoor. However, this year due to the global spread of deadly coronavirus, public gatherings are not safe. So here we bring for you the ways to organise picnic during the coronavirus pandemic at home:
You can prepare favourite and fancy dishes for each member of the family. Food can be the best way to enjoy the day with your family and friends. Cook at home, eat at home, enjoy at home.
Set your projector and watch 5D or 7D movies with your family. You can also plan games like housey, scribble, jenga, and so on.
If you have a backyard at your home, then what could be better than this? Decorate your backyard with ribbons, mats, carpets, and with food in the basket. Have a complete fun time eating and gossiping with your family.
This year, for a change, celebrate your picnic day at night with candlelit backgrounds. Light your favourite scented candles all around your living room or your backyard and enjoy the night looking up at the stars with a glass of wine and delicious food.
