The annual Johns Hopkins Picnic closes out the summer with an evening of family fun for staff, faculty, students and retirees and their families and friends from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 28, on the grounds of Johns Hopkins at Eastern.
Games, entertainment and all-you-can-eat picnic fare are included in the $5 price. Admission is free for children 3 and under. Tickets are limited and are being sold only in advance. A list of sellers and purchasing policies can be found at www.jhu.edu/fsrp by clicking on the Hopkins Picnic link.
