Group photo from the 2019 Wiknic, last time we held it on Roosevelt Island

The August 2024 Wiknic NYC Wiknic, the "picnic that anyone can edit", was held on the Saturday August 24, 2-7pm on Roosevelt Island.

Following up on Wikimania in Poland, this Wiknic had as guest of honor User:DerHexer, the 2024 Wikimedia Laureate of the Year, marking his triumphant North American tour!

Bring a picnic blanket and some potluck for the "picnic anyone can edit" if you like! We encourage you to bring your own favorite dishes to share, especially for those food cultural topics you would like to improve on Wikipedia.

We'll also do a portal thing for a bit with West Coast friends at the WikiLA ocean life edit-a-thon.

All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct, and don't forget your sunscreen!

I've been meaning to get pics of non-Roosevelt Island buses on Roosevelt Island, which is why I regret that I'm still going to be stuck in Florida. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 02:08, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll miss you folks by one day! I hope someone will do the honor of giving User:DerHexer a walking tour of NYC in the style of his famous Berlin walking tours. :) - Fuzheado | Talk 13:55, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be making the journey from Pennsylvania by car. This marks my first time attending such an event, and I'm looking forward to connecting with fellow Wikipedians.
