Children’s Picnic and Real Food Fair

The Children's Picnic and Real Food Fair will be held Sunday, March 29 from 1 to 5 p.m., on the rolling grounds of the historic French Legation Museum, 802 San Marcos St. The free event invites families to pack a picnic, bring a blanket, grow a garden, play games, meet farmers and local food vendors, and enjoy cooking demos, baby goats, music and much more. 

The Children’s Picnic and Real Food Fair is an opportunity for families to bring picnic lunches from home or build them at the event made from fresh fruits, vegetables and prepared foods and beverages that a variety of local farmers market food vendors will be offering for sampling and sale. Last year, Whole Foods Market led a rainwater barrel painting project in addition to all the other fun-filled activities that allowed families to connect with local food farmers, vendors and artisans.
