On Saturday, March 1, 2025, another edition of Competitive Winter Picnicking took place in Brooklyn, NY. On an unseasonably warm afternoon, nearly 20 teams gathered in Saratoga Park in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn. Each team served food and drinks, plus created a game, with four teams qualifying for trophies and cash prizes.

I covered this year’s event for the organizers, Shadow Traffic, and some images are available above, and the full gallery is on their website. For additional photos from previous years, check out the Competitive Winter Picnicking tag.
