Q: DO I NEED A PERMIT?

A: That depends on the location, number of people and a couple of other factors.  The Gathering Picnic Co. packages do not require you to obtain a permit at any of our preferred picnic locations. If you have a special spot in mind, we'll let you know if you need a permit and can help with that process.

There is no cancellation charge for rescheduling your picnic due to bad weather.
