Humanist Families and Friends: Freethought Summer Picnic

During the summer months, the MN freethought community comes together for three jointly-held picnics. Whether you attend one of our groups regularly or just want to get acquainted and socialize with like-minded folks in a relaxed atmosphere, do join us.

The July picnic is hosted by Humanists of Minnesota and will be held at Wabun Picnic Area between Minnehaha Falls and the Mississippi River. This park is popular so we are recommend arriving early if you can--at 11:30am--to get the free close-by parking.

The park has a beautiful wading pool with geysers right near Shelter B and a large playground nearby. It has multiple play structures and was designed to be inclusive and accessible for all children. The park also has a disc golf course nearby.

The August 21st picnic will be hosted by Minnesota Atheists back at Columbia Park--where the June picnic was held (hosted by Camp Quest families).
