Picnics at the Park

This is our low-pressure, bring-a-blanket, sit-on-the-grass kind of day.

CC Picnics are simple on purpose. We pick a park, lay out blankets, bring food, and spend a few hours together without turning it into a huge program or a production. It’s just time outside with other members who also wanted something easy and unhurried.

You can come in your cottage-core dress if that’s your mood. Or shorts and a big shirt. We’re not strict about the aesthetic — we just like a little effort because it makes the day feel different from errands.

If you’ve been craving new friendships that don’t revolve around work, this is usually where they start.

What happens?

We choose a park and send the exact pin before the gathering. When you arrive, you’ll check in with our host and join the setup of blankets, throw pillows, and low tables. We begin with short introductions so you know who’s beside you, then the afternoon unfolds organically.

People share food, move between conversations, sit in smaller circles, or stretch out in the sun. Sometimes we bring light prompts, journaling cards, or a simple theme to spark deeper discussion. Other times, the conversation carries itself. The structure holds the space, but the energy stays easy.

Bringing food is completely optional. Some members pack light snacks or drinks for themselves. Others simply show up and enjoy the company. You’re welcome to bring a picnic mat, water bottle, sun protection, or a book if that’s your mood.

Group size is capped at around 15 to 20 members so it stays intimate. The gathering runs for about three hours. If the weather shifts, we coordinate a covered partner venue or adjust the date with notice.

Why join Candid Club for something like this?

It’s rare to find a space where you can meet women without needing to “be” anything. You don’t need a title, a pitch, or a perfectly curated personality. You just show up with your mat and your food and see who you end up talking to.

For a lot of our members, this is where the real friendships begin. Not online. Not in DMs. On a blanket, passing fruit, laughing about something small.
