What to Bring: Guests bring any food item they want to bring, enough to share with 6 to 8 people. Main dish, side dish, salad, bread, appetizers, etc. Bring food only. Hosts are providing plates, utensils, cups, drinks, etc.
Bring portable chair and/or blanket to sit on. We form a large circle on the central lawn and eat and mingle and talk. The hosts are providing serving tables. There are a few picnic tables at the park that attendees may eat at, but most everybody sits on the lawn using folding chairs they bring themselves.
In years past, between 50 and 100 people have come to this event. It is a great opportunity to meet neighbors.
There are always many families with young children at this event. (There is a great playground there.) But traditionally, most of the people who come to this event are single individuals (of all ages!) or couples whose children have grown.
Co-organized by the Tempe neighborhood potluck group and the Del Rio Ward. This group has organized this neighborhood potluck event at Rotary Park at this time of year for over ten years (only skipping a couple of years due to the pandemic).
Fun Fact: This neighborhood potluck picnic will take place on September 27, which happens to be Ancestor Appreciation Day. This holiday, celebrated every year on September 27, is a day when people are encouraged to ask questions about their lineage. It is also a day to spend with family and add some interesting photographs to the family album.
