piQniQ in the Parks 2015 – Organic, Local and by Bike

   

For the fourth consecutive year, piQniQ in the parks is back to bring a breath of fresh air to this dynamic fall season, with an emphasis on organic products and sustainable transport.

With summer in full swing, PiQniQ will take place in parks throughout Brussels, offering a wide range of activities based on the promotion of sustainable, certified organic gastronomy and food, in a musical atmosphere perfect for a summer Sunday.

Everyone is welcome to bring along a picnic as long as all of the food is certified organic (Certisys label).

Workshops and activities for kids and adults:

Bicycles, seedlings, permaculture, living food, introduction to vegetarian cooking, kites, introduction to yoga, and more.
