50th Anniversary Observation

The Village Table Picnic

Saturday, July 26 (rain date Sunday, July 27)

4:00-8:00 PM

Lexington, MA


About the Picnic

This relaxed, backyard, afternoon-into-evening (4:00-8:00 PM) potluck event at a member's home in Lexington is an opportunity for our community to come together for delicious food (which falls under the category of "Some Other Folk Arts") and camaraderie.

No formal music or dancing is planned, but jamming is encouraged (bring your own instrument, music, song lyrics, music stand, etc.), and who knows, perhaps impromptu dancing may break out!

What to Bring

Attendees are asked to bring a dish to share using a recipe from FAC’s community cookbook, The Village Table. Recipes from FAC Angels who are no longer with us are especially encouraged!

We also ask for the following on a 3” x 5” index card:

  • your name
  • a few sentences explaining why you chose the recipe
  • name of the person who submitted it to the cookbook

Please bring a your own picnic blanket or lawn chair(s); insect repellent is recommended.

About our Cookbook

Published in 2012, FAC’s community cookbook, The Village Table, has been a very successful fundraiser for the Folk Arts Center. During its development, many individuals contributed and tested recipes. These recipes, along with the stories which accompanied them, are now cherished by members of the FAC community who purchased this cookbook.

The cookbook is available for purchase in our shop so you can have your own copy!
