More companies are dropping the traditional Christmas party in favor of a summer picnic. The much lower cost of a picnic, absence of alcohol, inclusion of children and games, less formality, and more fun, are all promoting the trend.

The first ingredient in a successful picnic is location. Access, parking, trees, grass, picnic tables, privacy must all combine for the postcard setting. BBQ has a list of prime locations throughout Southern Ontario area for groups of any size, including Barrie, Orillia and throughout the GTA. Please visit our Locations section for some great ideas.
