Picnic

A picnic is a meal or gathering where food is eaten outdoors, often in a scenic or recreational setting, and typically enjoyed during a leisure activity like a walk or excursion. Picnics are usually associated with pleasant weather, especially during spring or summer, and offer a chance to enjoy food and company in a relaxed outdoor atmosphere.

Picnics take place outdoors, typically in parks, gardens, by lakeshores, or other scenic areas.

They are generally informal and relaxed, encouraging enjoyment of the surroundings and company.

Picnics involve bringing food and drinks to be consumed outdoors, often packed in a basket or bag.

Picnics often accompany other outdoor activities like walks, hikes, or enjoying nature.
