Welcome to the Picnic Palooza Official Web Site!

You might ask; What is a Palooza?

The "American Heritage Dictionary" says a Palooza is:

"something outstanding of its kind",

But after the Lollapalooza Rock Tour, it's usually used as a suffix to indicate "an extravaganza of some sort".
(Hockey Palooza, Bingo Palooza, Picnic Palooza, etc.)

Picnic Palooza, as we know it today, had its beginnings in the
aftermath of the tragic 9-11 events in New York City on
September 11th, 2001

After mourning the tragic losses of that fateful day,
it became clear to me that what a lot of us needed was
a day to come together as friends and enjoy a day where we
could put our troubles behind us for a brief period of time
 and share some fun, food, friendship, and music.

Once the planning for the first Picnic Palooza began,
it occurred to me - Why limit this to one location?

The plan was developed so that if you could not be at
Palooza Central in Scotia, New York, you could still enjoy
the fun from wherever you were in the world on the day as
a Satellite Location for Picnic Palooza.

We soon had Satellite Locations lined up for picnics
across the United States and around the World,
making Picnic Palooza a truly Global Picnic!

The first Picnic Palooza was held on July 27th, 2002
 Picnic Palooza - Tropical Paradise was held at
Palooza Central in Scotia, New York and around the World!

It was a day of fun, sun, food, drink and friends.
