One of the greatest gifts of living in Loudoun County is the opportunity to share life with neighbors from many different cultures, traditions, and faith communities. While our beliefs and practices may not always be the same, we are united by a shared hope for a more compassionate, welcoming, and peaceful community.
We invite you to join us for the Annual Bridges Interfaith Picnic on Sunday, August 23, from 4:00–6:00 PM at the Douglas Community Center in Leesburg for an afternoon of food, friendship, and celebration.
This family-friendly gathering will hopefully feature music, dance, storytelling, or other cultural performances that reflect the rich diversity of our community. Together, we’ll enjoy an afternoon of learning, laughter, conversation, and connection as we celebrate the many ways our different traditions enrich our shared life together.
As a potluck picnic, we invite you to bring a favorite dish or dessert to share if you’re able. Whether your recipe is a cherished family tradition or something purchased, sharing a meal is one of the simplest and most meaningful ways we build community. If you’re unable to bring something, please don’t let that keep you from coming—there will be plenty of food, and your presence is the most important contribution you can make.
The Bridges Interfaith Picnic is an opportunity to annually celebrate our diversity while discovering the values of kindness, hospitality, respect, and hope that unite us.
Everyone is welcome. Bring your family, invite a friend, and join us as we celebrate diverse faiths, vibrant cultures, and the beautiful community we are building together.
