The 28th Annual Picnic des Chefs will
return on June 28 to Griffith Park this year, which is one of the largest urban
parks in the US, covering over 4200 acres. Located in the middle of the
city, it will allow more people than ever to enjoy the best of Los
Angeles' French regional cooking. A wonderful day for the whole family
under the trees surrounded
by mountains and nature.
The party will start at 11:30 am with apéritifs and lunch followed by a
raffle and silent auction. Games (petanque, soccer, volleyball)
French DJ, life band and dancing Moon bouncers for the kids. Please
carpool, bring sunscreen, hats, beach chairs, picnic blankets and a
smile.
