Peace Picnic Info & Videos

Peace Picnic

The United Nations established the International Day of Peace in 1981, declaring it a day “devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.”

Every year since 2006, the Guru Ram Das Ashram community has offered the Peace Picnic as an opportunity for the people of the South Robertson community in Los Angeles to come together for a peaceful afternoon in the park.

All are welcome to enjoy a buffet of gourmet vegetarian food donated by local restaurants, children's activities supervised by the Reynier Village Neighborhood Association, and a live music program, featuring local musical groups that reflect the remarkable diversity of the neighborhood.    (click on flyer to view bigger)

Annual Peace Picnic

Clergy and leaders from various organizations offer words of inspiration, setting aside religious and political differences to focus on peace in our neighborhood and around the world.

The Peace Picnic is a collaboration of the South Robertson Neighborhoods Council (SORO NC), Reynier Village Neighborhood Association, L.A. City Council President Herb J. Wesson, Jr., St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church and Guru Ram Das Ashram.

The list is long of all the local businesses, organizations, individuals, restaurants and performers who so generously contribute to the Peace Picnic so it can be available to all.  Admission, food, supervised children's activities, the peace program and all other activities at the Peace Picnic are free, thanks to these peace-loving supporters.
