Butler’s Pantry And Tower Grove Park Partner For Picnics In The Park
A donation will be made to the park foundation for each order
Donations will be doubled on GiveSTL Day
(St. Louis, MO – April 22, 2021): Butler’s Pantry and Tower Grove Park Foundation are partnering for a springtime favorite, Picnics in the Park. Every Thursday starting April 22nd to May 27th, friends and families can enjoy delicious Butler’s Pantry picnic meals in the beautiful and historic Tower Grove Park.
For every picnic box purchased, Butler’s Pantry will donate $5 to Tower Grove Park Foundation. On GiveSTL Day, May 6th, Butler’s Pantry will donate an additional 5 dollars for those who show a donation receipt to the Tower Grove Park GiveSTL Day fund. Those individuals will also receive one free Schlafly Park Lager generously donated by Schlafly Beer to go with their picnic meal. Donations from GiveSTL Day will specifically help the Horticulture & Forestry Program to maintain and enhance the park’s 289 acres and ensure it remains vibrant and welcoming for visitors.
“We are thrilled to continue this partnership with Butler’s Pantry,” said Liz Hickox, Director of Community Programs at Tower Grove Park. “These pop-up events are yet another way for us to live out our mission of providing the St. Louis community with more recreational and cultural opportunities.”
Each personal-sized picnic box is $30 for four picnic-friendly courses — appetizer, salad, entrée and a dessert. Water, soft drinks, cocktails and beer are also available for purchase. Picnic boxes are typically pre-ordered online by 10 AM every Wednesday and picked up at Tower Grove Park on Thursdays from 4:30-6:30 P.M. On May 6, there will be a limited quantity of picnic boxes available for purchase onsite at the pop-up picnic location near the pond loop, next to the Fountain Pond & Ruins. Families are encouraged to bring their own blankets, yard games, pillows and chairs.
“After a year like no other, Picnics in the Park was one of the ways we were able to create a sense of togetherness and community during a time when we couldn’t gather in traditional ways,” said Bridget Bitza, Vice President of Sales & Catering at Butler’s Pantry. “The Tower Grove Park community gave us a warm welcome last year and we are happy to come back and provide the same safe, culinary experience for everyone to enjoy while reconnecting with friends and family among the beautiful landscape of Tower Grove Park.”
Picnic orders can be placed here.
