Picnic in the park!

When: Tuesdays in May, June and September

Where: Hurkamp Park

Time: 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.


In case of inclement weather, please sign up for Fredericksburg Alert @ www.fredericksburgalert.com.

If Picnic in the Park is cancelled we will send out an alert that can go directly to your cell phone via

text message, email (home, work or other), pager or office phone. We will also post it on the Fredericksburg

Parks and Recreation Facebook page.

Picnic in the Park formerly “Lunch at Hurkamp” started in 1997 and has grown into one of the community’s

most popular events. Each concert serves as a meeting place and opportunity for community groups,

business people, friends, families, seniors, and preschoolers to gather together and enjoy music, downtown

Fredericksburg, and each other. Over 3,000 people attended the Concert Series last year and we expect this

year’s series to be more popular than ever!


Fredericksburg Parks & Recreation’s, Picnic in the Park concert series, is a wonderful opportunity

for visitors and residents of the Fredericksburg area to savor a beautiful day outdoors while enjoying

live, local entertainment in historic downtown.

This year’s series will feature exciting new activities for kids including a moon bounce and art activities.
Also don’t forget Touch-a-Truck! A great hands-on activity to keep children of all ages entertained and

learning.

Have you been to the Motts Run Reservoir Recreation Area?

Motts pier

This 860-acre natural area including the 160-acre reservoir, is a haven for fishing, boating canoeing, hiking and picnicking. It also serves the residents of Fredericksburg and parts of Spotsylvania County with drinking water.

You may bring your own boat (ELECTRIC MOTORS ONLY) to launch on the lake, or fish from the banks. Fee charged for fishing and boat launching. No swimming, horseback riding, biking of any kind, or all-terrain vehicles permitted.

The park has jon boats and canoes available for rental, picnic grills and tables, and over 4 miles of hiking trails.

Motts Reservoir is OPEN Thursdays – Mondays April 1 – October 31 from 7:00am – 7:00pm; the Reservoir is CLOSED on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

If the weather is questionable, call before coming (540) 786-8989.

As a cost saving measure, when the weather is bad we reserve the right to close the reservoir early.
