13th Annual Waynedale Picnic, August 22nd!

Celebrating its 13th year, the Waynedale Community Picnic will be held on August 22nd from 10am to 3pm at the Waynedale Park. The picnic is a free, family friendly event that feeds and entertains 1,500+ Waynedale guests for the event’s afternoon. This year’s picnic is presented by The Waynedale News, Circle City Audio and Hanson Aggregates and made possible by over a hundred local businesses and organizations who have donated to the community event. The Waynedale Community Picnic is open to all families in the Waynedale community.

Megan Ryan (Bishop Luers HS teacher) is the new event coordinator and lead organizer of the event, who has introduced many new features to the long standing event. New this year, the event will showcase a live band "Loudmouth Soup" from noon to 3pm, classic car show, emergency vehicle tour and the Waynedale Park splash pad will be open. To accommodate for these new features and all of the picnic favorites, the event layout has been changed to better utilize the Waynedale Park grounds.

Guests will also enjoy classic features of the Waynedale Community picnic including, a free lunch, bingo with prizes, children’s games, an arts & crafts tent, inflatable obstacle course, face painting, vendors and much more!

The Waynedale Community Picnic encourages guests of all ages to come to enjoy the event. They would also like to thank all of the businesses, organizations and individuals who have donated money, prizes and their talents to make this event happen. Without their efforts, this "community togetherness" event would not be possible. For more information about the Waynedale Community Picnic, please see www.waynedale.com/picnic
