About National Picnic Day
The word comes from the French word pique-nique, whose earliest usage in print was at the end of the 17th century. The term was originally used to describe a group of people dining in a restaurant who brought their own wine.
There are several dates put forward for a Picnic Day, but the end of April seems as good a date as away to kick off the picnic season.
