The first Picnic in the Park for 2026 is being held Thursday, March 26, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., at the Lamar City Park. It is a beautiful, although somewhat windy day and from the looks of those taking advantage of the wide variety of “goodies” offered, it is worth the wait. The food trucks take a hiatus over the winter and will be here on the third Thursday of the month (except for August, due to the Lamar Free Fair).

Picnic in the Park opens for 2026 season
