What are you doing on Labor Day? Why not spend the day with NJYP at our 3rd Annual Labor Day Picnic! Expect tons of fresh food and cold beers, softball and kickball games, sun, fun, and around 100 young professionals who are ready to make friends!

Don’t forget sunblock and sunglasses.

Consume (this is important so please read):
At this event everyone is expected to bring something to share! We will set up 3 “shared food and drink” tables. If everyone brings a little it ends up working out great.

* We bought an alcohol permit so BYOB.
Please do NOT bring any type of chips! Yup, do NOT bring chips but we will need dips.
List what you are going to bring on the event page.

The Environment:

About Loantaka Park:

We will have a small shaded shelter area where we will mostly keep all of the food and supplies. There will be MANY picnic tables for us to share right outside of the shelter.
Leashed pets are welcome (yes, they must wear a leash so we don't get fined).
