This first-time event comes on the eve of the park’s signature event, French Connection Day. Enjoy a French-theme picnic (available for pre-purchase), live jazz music from 7 - 8:30 pm by Michel Domingue & Co. and stargazing. The park’s 18-foot Eiffel Tower will be illuminated, adding a touch of Paris to the festivities.
A French-themed picnic under the stars will feature chef-inspired artisanal meats such as soppresatta and chianti salami, cheeses such as blueberry stilton, boursin, aged white cheddar that are served with a sliced baguette, flatbread crackers, and crispbreads. Take your experience further by enjoying wine pairings from Gerard Bertrand, chosen to enhance your meal and be the perfect complement to a night under the stars. All picnic baskets include plates, utensils and wine glasses (for baskets with wine) and serves two people.
Special Event Admission: $15 per car
Member pricing: $12 per car
