The Great North American Wiknic is the annual "picnic anyone can edit" being held across Summer 2024, and coming back in person across the continent!

The Wiknic is the picnic anyone can edit, with people ordinarily bringing their own picnic food and perhaps other items to share. This page can also be reached at the shorter domain name wiknic.org.

Wiknics have three virtues, which we aim to preserve:

  • Easy to organize, even for old Wikipedians
  • Welcoming to everyone, even for new Wikipedians and Wikipedian-wannabes
  • Fun!

In short, a Wiknic can be a great easy-in to real life Wikipedia culture, and lead to greater Wiki-community and outreach in your corner of the continent!
