🦃 Friendsgiving Potluck Picnic at Arcadia County Park – Food, Fun & Fall Vibes!
Arcadia County Park, 405 S Santa Anita Ave, Arcadia, CA, USLet’s get together for an end-of-year Friendsgiving Potluck Picnic to celebrate and share good food, friendship, and gratitude with all the amazing people we’ve met throughout the year!
Unlike some of the recent events, this one is completely free — just bring a dish, snacks, or drinks to share. It’s a simple, low-pressure, stress-free picnic focused on connection and community rather than setup or cost.
We’ll keep things casual — plenty of picnic tables and free parking are available at the park. Feel free to bring games or a cooler with ice if you have one.
This will be a traditional group-style potluck, so no BBQs — just everyone bringing something to contribute. Homemade dishes are especially encouraged and always appreciated!
The goal is to relax, connect, and enjoy a friendly afternoon together.
We’ll only be there from 1:00–5:00 PM, so please try to arrive on time so we can all eat and hang out together.
Come share good food, laughter, and friendship as we wrap up the year together at Arcadia County Park! 🧺✨
Thanks!
*Note* - This will be a bare-bones, bring-your-own potluck picnic — nothing will be provided, so please remember to bring plates, utensils, napkins, drinks, cups, ice, and anything else needed. Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish or substantial item(s) to share so we can all enjoy a true group potluck experience. Please don’t come empty-handed — let’s all contribute and be respectful of one another’s efforts.
About the Park:
Arcadia County Park is a spacious and relaxing spot with walking paths, open grassy areas, and plenty of shade. You can also enjoy tennis courts, basketball courts, and play areas if you’d like to stay active before or after the picnic. It’s a great place to take a stroll, toss a frisbee, or simply unwind in the afternoon sun. 🌳🎾
