This year’s theme, “Give Aunties and Uncles Their Flowers,” is a heartfelt tribute to the aunties, uncles, bonus aunties, village keepers, caregivers, mentors, and loved ones who show up with love, wisdom, protection, laughter, and care. These are the people who help raise, nurture, guide, encourage, and pour into the next generation — often without asking for anything in return.

This picnic is more than an event. It is a celebration of the village.
