Your Impact

Generous contributions in all forms go toward supporting conservation on the park grounds, preservation of the park’s storied history, hosting free-to-the-public community events, like Winterfest and Blues at the Arch, and funding educational programs for students from under-resourced communities.

Every contribution, including your basket purchase, goes toward our mission to uplift our hometown national park and the region.

Entertainment

What's a picnic without a little fun?

While you enjoy your delicious picnic lunch and the beautiful sights of Gateway Arch National Park, you'll also be treated to one of St. Louis' favorite bands, The Red and Black Brass Band!

Before the event you'll get access to the perfect playlist to enjoy while basking in the sun, so don't forget to bring your own portable speaker with you.

We will also have on-site activities to enhance your experience, including bags, build-an-arch, and our interactive 'What's In Bloom?' cart to learn about the park's seasonal fauna and flora. 

Discounted Cardinals Tickets

It doesn't get more St. Louis than this!

As a thank you for your support of Picnic in Your Park, we've teamed up with the St. Louis Cardinals to offer all Picnic attendees the opportunity to attend a Cardinals vs. Rockies game the weekend of June 7th, 8th, and 9th with discounted tickets starting at $25!

Ticket information and purchase links will be available upon basket reservation.
