Rain Date: August 23, 2026
Last day to register: August 20, 2026
Join Brenna and Heather from The Venture Out Project for a Queer Picnic and Crafts at a park in the Wall Township, NJ area. Come hang out outdoors, connect with queer community, and work on your own craft project or use the craft materials we'll provide. Not interested in crafting but still want to connect with queer community? Bring an outdoor activity like a frisbee, or just come to sit outside and hang! If you are able, everyone is invited to bring a vegan or vegetarian picnic dish to share. We will provide some snacks and refreshments, as well. The meeting location has plenty of free parking and we will plan to gather in a grass field near the parking area.
Consider bringing a blanket or chair to sit on in the grass. The site has restrooms, picnic tables, and some shady areas to get out of the sun. We ask folks under the age of 18 to please register themselves and an adult to accompany them. If you require an emotional support/service dog to attend, please let us know and we collaborate with you on how to keep you both comfortable and hydrated.

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
