WORLD GOTHIC DAY CELEBRATION: PICNIC AT CROWN HILL 🖤

🦇 JOIN US 🦇
In celebration of World Gothic Day, we invite you to embrace the melancholy beauty of spring among the tombstones at our special Gothic Picnic gathering. As shadows lengthen across ancient stones, we welcome dark souls of all ages to convene for an afternoon of macabre merriment and somber celebration honoring gothic culture worldwide.
## 🍷 REFRESHMENTS 🍷

* Dark refreshments encouraged but not required
* Goblets and chalices welcome
## 🐾 CREATURES 🐾
* Well-behaved familiars and companions are welcome
* All pets must remain leashed at all times
* Guardians are responsible for their creatures' behavior and cleanup
## ⚰️ ETIQUETTE ⚰️
* Respect the eternal slumber of those who rest beneath
* Leave no trace of your mortal presence—clean up thoroughly after yourself
* Victorian mourning attire, contemporary gothic fashion, or dark casual wear encouraged
* Photography permitted with respect for graves and attendees
## 💀 IMPORTANT 💀
This gathering honors both the living and the dead. While we celebrate our gothic sensibilities, we do so with reverence for our surroundings. All are welcome regardless of experience in the gothic community.
"The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?" — Edgar Allan Poe
