POP UP PICNICS

Each summer, Wayside partners with Cultivating Community, The Book Fairy, Locker Project, Garbage to Garden, The City of Portland, the Children's Museum, various locally owned businesses, and musicians to host four Pop up Picnics at community gardens. In 2024, we are expanding our picnic offerings by partnering with Portland Trails to develop their efforts with new Mainers to use the trails throughout the city and answer questions or concerns to raise comfort with using the trails.
