2023 edition of Guyana Picnic in the Park

Time: 1 PM to 6 PM.
Venue: Lake Sammamish State Park, 2182 NW Sammamish Rd, Issaquah, WA 98027
Directions:
Please note the normal State Park fee of $10 per vehicle applies to the Lake Sammamish State Park but this is covered with a discover pass: https://discoverpass.wa.gov.
The Guyana Picnic has traditionally been a high point of the Guyanese community in WA State where we meet, socialize, indulge in good Guyanese food and snacks, and participate in competitive sports. We urge all Guyanese to come out and bring along your friends to enjoy all the activities.
We plan to have food in the two main categories: “GENERAL” and “VEGETARIAN”. However, because of the 3 year Covid hiatus and time constraints, we have had to scale back our usual food preparations. So,this year we will follow a more traditional picnic where you are encouraged to make use of the barbecue grills available in the park.
But as is customary, we also invite you to prepare a suitable Guyanese dish of your choosing and/or to provide snacks/drinks to share with others. Shared food items will be served at the food booth.
Consider preparing enough for 5-10 or more persons.
And as is also customary, we will have a donation box at the picnic to help defray the Park, music equipment, etc. rental and incidental costs.
