A most delightful outdoor afternoon music event! Bring your own lunch (garbage-free!) or purchase a homegrown vegetarian lunch from the Piebird gardens -- food grown by Yan & prepared by Sherry! Bring the family and a picnic blanket, stroll around the gardens and dance around the hay wagon!

This year features the band LAKE OF STEW!!! They are the most wonderfully perfect fit for a Piebird band! (songs about love, happy people, pie, vegetarianism, etc) -- Opening up will be the fun Pinecone Collective!!!

TICKETS $20 advance price (limited quantity), $25 at gate.

Kids/youth 15 and under are free. No dogs (we have goats). Contact us if you are interested in staying at the B&B, camping or other local accommodations. Also we're looking for a few volunteers for before and during.

HOMEGROWN VEGETARIAN LUNCH (only available for purchase in advance -- SORRY LUNCH PLATES ARE ALL SOLD OUT) or bring your own garbage-free lunch!

With every attempt any of us make to renovate community, the tendency is to burrow into the heat of a simpler time. Gathering for music and gathering for food seem two of the finest ways to weave strangers, neighbours & happy people into each others lives -- a mix of ages, generations, a true blending of folks. The annual Piebird Picnic is the finest day of the year! So fun! Community pastures freely at a picnic, come and be happy!

"LAKE OF STEW is a friendly, six-piece acoustic string band from Montreal, Quebec. They sing all original, new songs, featuring great big vocal harmonies. Lots of people call their sound old-timey, but it ain't, it's new-timey, though it does recall a lot of old traditions all blended together. If you need a name to put to their sound, you wouldn't go wrong with "good-timey". Their live shows are energetic and fun, inspiring audiences of all ages to sing and clap and wiggle along."
