Bay Area Baltic Picnic 2023, San Franciskas

Probably the biggest and most fun event of the year!

PLENTY OF ACTIVITIES – OR JUST EAT & RELAX
THE PROGRAM OF THE DAY:
11 AM Arrival and grilling starts – lunch throughout the day!
11:30 AM Food tasting contest – do you make the very best potato salad, sauerkraut, or homemade bread in the Bay Area? Put it to the test in the food tasting contest, and win a prize and bragging rights! (Entries must arrive by 11:30 to participate – please package a separate portion for the contest from your contribution to the potluck table.)
1 PM After lunch and the raffle, everyone is invited to join in and learn some easy Baltic folk dances.
2 PM Due to popular demand – tug-of-war will be again this year! Come enjoy casual match-ups in soccer, volleyball, too – or just the company of friends and family. Kids will enjoy a pinata and other lawn games.
