FREE EVENT – Join us at The Big Picnic presented by TD Bank Group. We were inspired by the long-time Japanese cultural tradition of Hanami, which literally translates to “flower (hana-) viewing (mi)”. We want to share this experience with everyone under Queen Elizabeth Park’s iconic cherry blossom canopy.This is a FREE event!

Bring your picnic mat, or purchase one of the Festival’s connecting Petal Mats, prepare a picnic basket or visit some on-site food trucks, and get ready to have lots of fun and meet new people. We have lots of family-friendly activities and performances planned. See you at The Big Picnic!
