There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned picnic – especially if it is the St. Joe’s Picnic for the Kids. This mega event, which draws a crowd of over 50,000 annually, features food, games, raffles, and live music with all proceeds benefiting our St. Joe’s kids.
Make plans to attend our 178th picnic August 13-14 on the St. Joe’s lawn. Grab your chairs, your coins and enjoy the weekend on our historic, shaded lawn. You can listen to music, have some local food, play games, see friends and know it is all for the kids who call St. Joe’s home.
Food/drink and raffle tickets will be available for purchase in person only.
Parking is available onsite from our Brownsboro Rd entrance at 2826 Brownsboro Rd Friday night and Saturday. Additional parking on Saturday is available at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (2825 Lexington Road) with a free shuttle bus to our front entrance. It runs from 8am to 1am and is our recommended parking option for guests and volunteers attending Saturday.
