The Unity Picnic is an annual July event hosted by Urban League of Greater Madison.

Getting together with your neighbors for a picnic is a time-honored summer tradition…now just widen that scope from the block around where you live to the whole community and you have the annual Unity Picnic. There will be barbecue with sides and dessert provided by BP Smokehouse and Kipp’s Catering, music by Yancyy with Leotha Stanley, Untitled and DJ Andre, kids' activities, resource tables and more fun. It’s sponsored by the Urban League and everything is free, including a pop-up family vaccination clinic (find out more and RSVP here).
