EVENT: Great Community Picnic

Simple, Sweet, and Summer-Ready

There’s just something about summer that makes us want to slow down, grab a cold drink, and hang out on a blanket under the sun. The Great Community Picnic brings all of that classic summer charm right to your residents—no road trip or bug spray required.

This event is everything we love about summer, all in one place: food, friends, sunshine, and that easygoing, checked-blanket kind of joy.

What It Is:

An outdoor picnic party with nostalgic Americana flair. Residents are invited to bring their own blankets or use the ones provided, gather on the lawn or courtyard, and enjoy a lineup of simple, feel-good summer bites.

You can go big with lawn games and live music—or keep it sweet and simple with chilled watermelon, classic lemonade, and picnic baskets to go.

How to Host It:

The food: Grill onsite or pre-wrap burgers and hot dogs to keep things quick and tidy. Offer vegetarian options if possible. Pair with individual chip bags, bottled water, and a self-serve lemonade or cucumber water station.
The setting: Add gingham tablecloths, printed picnic signs, and umbrellas or shaded seating.
The extras: Lawn games like cornhole, giant Connect 4, or picnic bingo keep the vibe fun but casual.
Optional: Background music with a retro summer playlist or live acoustic tunes.
