International Picnic Day is a made-up holiday that is celebrated every year on June 18. The origins of this event are unknown, but it doesn’t dampen its popularity with many countries across the globe celebrating this event. Picnic has been known to bring people closer and strengthen familial, and friendship bonds. It is just a wonderful opportunity to be happy and spread cheer.

The day is to commune with nature and enjoy a lovely summer day if you are in the Northern Hemisphere. For those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, who says you can’t picnic indoors? Just spread a blanket in the middle of your living room. Maybe even create a pillow fort and enjoy some time with your family!

It’s a made-up holiday that is meant to infuse us with new vigour and joy in otherwise humdrum life. Picnics are not just a popular outdoor activity, it has come to be perceived as a lovely ‘emotion’, a fun-filled occasion.

Though historically, nothing much is known about the origin of this day, commemorating the International Picnic Day would certainly be a great way to celebrate life, in fact. It is believed that sometime at the end of the French Revolution, and Victorian period this tradition of picnic came into being.
