Boston Estonian Society Summer Picnic
August 15, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT
The Boston Estonian Society invites you to its annual summer picnic. After a year of social distancing, mask mandates and many virtual events, we are eager and very excited to get together in person once again! This year, however, we will be gathering at a new venue, the Finnish Center at Saima Park.
Nestled in the beautiful woods on the outskirts of Fitchburg, the Ravintola & Sirkka Liukkonen Memorial Pavilion is an idea setting for our summer picnic. The open-air pavilion is equipped with picnic tables, a large barbeque grill, electricity for music and toilet facilities. The surrounding grounds are ideal for games of all kinds. BES will organize some children’s games, kite flying, slip-n-slides, tug-of-war, volleyball and other activities. Please feel free to bring along your favorite game as well. A beautiful trail network in the wooded hillside also beckons (verify w/ Saima Park) for those who would like to go for walk in the woods.
The banquet table will offer grilled sausages, veggie burgers, and typical Estonian summer picnic fare. We ask that people bring a small dessert for the coffee table and your own wine, beer or summer spritzers!
