All Senior and CommUNITY Picnic

History and General Information of the All Senior and CommUNITY Picnic:

PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR PICNIC RULES HAVE CHANGED, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ALLOW THE PUBLIC INTO THE EVENT WITHOUT A PURCHASED BUTTON.

The All Senior Picnic started in 2001 with a couple hundred people in attendance and a whole lot of fun. The first picnics were all held outside at a local parks. Each one of the three main cities, Pasco, Richland and Kennewick take turns hosting the picnic. The picnic now attracts nearly 1000 participants from the Columbia Basin and surrounding areas, including participants from Oregon and Idaho. Each year there is a variety of entertainment to help set the mood for this fun and festive event. This year, 2019, we will bring on a 50’s 60’s band that will take you back in time to when Sock-Hops were the rage and every weekend you danced your night away.

The picnic has had a few changes over the years and we strive to make it exciting and affordable for all who attend. Because we have met our sponsorship goal for 2019 we will be selling the picnic buttons for just $1. Please keep in mind that we have a limited number of buttons to sell for this year and we anticipate they will go fast. If we have buttons still unsold on the day of the event, they will be available for purchase at the Hapo Center (Formerly TRAC). Please also note that you will not be able to gain access to the event unless you have a button.

All Senior & CommUNITY Picnic buttons will be available for purchase at the Pasco First Avenue Center, the Pasco Recreation Department and the Kennewick and Richland Community Centers. Buttons will be sold beginning, Thursday August 1^st. The $1 fee includes access in the HAPO Center, informational vendor booths, entertainment, door prizes, and lunch.
