Fox Point Village Picnic Returns at Indian Creek Park
A petting zoo, an inflatable obstacle course, roasted sweet corn, and an afternoon outdoors: the Fox Point Village Picnic brings plenty of reasons to gather the family on Saturday, September 19, 2026.
Presented by the Fox Point Foundation, the picnic runs from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Indian Creek Park, 200 E. Spooner Road in Fox Point. It’s a chance to catch up with neighbors while the kids play, explore, and enjoy a busy lineup of activities.
What can families do at the picnic?
The official Facebook event lists yard games, an inflatable obstacle course, face painting, a petting zoo, and live music. The Betty Brinn Wonder Wagon will also be there with hands-on learning activities.
That gives families several ways to spend the afternoon, whether your kids gravitate toward animals, active play, or something new to discover.

The picnic menu includes a corn roast, brats, hot dogs, and Matilda’s cookies. Beverages listed by the organizers include New Baron’s beer and Island Rose gourmet beverages. See the event details for the current lineup.
With lunch and treats part of the festivities, you can plan your visit around a bite to eat and leave time for the kids’ favorite activities.
More music that evening
September 19 also brings a second celebration. The Foundation’s 50th Anniversary Rock the Fox concert takes place at Longacre Pavilion from 6:30 to 9 p.m., featuring AM FM and music spanning the history of rock.
The concert is a separate evening event at a different location from the picnic. Check the Fox Point Foundation’s event calendar for details and weather updates.
