Social Saturday Intergenerational Picnic

Join Positive Images LGBTQIA+ Center and North Bay LGBTQI Families for a Social Saturday Intergenerational Picnic on August 14 from 11am-2pm at McNear Park in Petaluma!

All LGBTQIA+ youth, families, adults, and elders are welcome at this picnic, which is part of a recurring series of monthly events taking place throughout Sonoma County where we are seeking to bring together members of our community across generations, particularly gender expansive youth, teens, and adults.

For our August gathering, we will be hosting an informal hangout allowing space for folks to socialize, relax, and play as much [or as little] as they choose. We will also have individual art kits available for youth and anyone else who would like to be creative at the park or later on at home. Additionally, there are play structures at the park for families who may want to use them.

Please feel free to bring your lunch or snacks, along with any chairs or blankets you would like. We will have water and a small selection of pre-packaged snacks available. Street parking is free and usually easy to find on the streets surrounding the park (F, G, and 11th). The park is ADA accessible.

We will have $50 gift cards available at the picnic to families for whom financial barriers such as the cost of gas, a meal, or missed work would otherwise prevent them from attending. If you feel your family could benefit from this support, please fill out the form at the following link:

At our August picnic, we would love to receive your input regarding the types of activities you would be interested in for these monthly intergenerational gatherings going forward, as well as your suggestions for guests from our community who may wish to facilitate those activities. We also plan to make childcare available at future events.

We at Positive Images and North Bay LGBTQI Families are still very aware of and concerned about the spread of COVID-19.

If you are feeling sick in any way, please stay home and take care of yourself.
Masks will be mandatory with no exceptions. We will have masks on hand for those who may need them.
We will maintain a distance of six feet from one another at all times.

We’re excited to see you then!
