A very NEaT picnic

Get ready for the annual NEaT picnic on Saturday 16 August at noon! It’s the end of the holidays and the start of a new work period, but let’s take a moment to enjoy the last bit of summer together. Feel free to bring family, friends and your pet!

We will be at Tokoinranta in Helsinki, which is a very short walk from Hakaniemi square and accessible by metro and trams. You can also find good parking on Eläintarhantie, the street near where we will picnic. Just follow the curve of the bay on the north side until you see our blue tent.

Bring your own picnic lunch and drinks. If you’d like to bring something to share, that is very welcome! NEaT will provide something sparkling for the welcoming toast (be sure to bring a cup!) and some delicious treats to share. We also promise our annual Mölkky game.

RSVP at this link so that we know you are coming. You will be sent alternate instructions for bad weather if needed. Please also let us know if you prefer alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages, and if you have any allergies or food preferences.

See you at Tokoinranta!
