The Bahá'í Faith
One World, One God, One People
The Bahá'í Faith is the newest of the world's independent religions, a faith focused on building a just, peaceful and sustainable world—one neighborhood at a time.
Bahá'í activities for adults, youth and children are open to all. Everyone is welcome to join a path of service and collective learning about the process of spiritual community building.
The Wilhelm Bahá'í Properties are one of the oldest and most unique Bahá'í sites in the United States. Built by eminent American Bahá'í Roy Wilhelm, the grounds were blessed by the presence of `Abdu'l-Bahá in 1912. After more than 50 years of imprisonment and exile with his father Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Bahá'í Faith, `Abdu'l-Bahá journeyed to Europe and America and shared and exemplified the Bahá'í teachings.
For the last 108 years, Bahá'ís and local community members have annually commemorated `Abdu'l-Bahá's visit on the last Saturday of June. Last year (2020) marked the 108th anniversary of the Souvenir Picnic. Since we could not gather together in person because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we produced a digital program to commemorate this annual event (see below). Baha'is from all over the world have contributed to the program; please share widely and help fulfill ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's words from the first picnic. In 1912, he stated, "Hundreds of thousands of meetings shall be held to commemorate this occasion, and the very words I speak to you today shall be repeated in them for ages to come."

For this year's 109th Souvenir Picnic, with the approval of the National Spiritual Assembly, we are excited to welcome you back for this very special annual event on Saturday, June 26th, 2021. Picnicking begins at noon and the program will be at 3pm. Please note there will be a few changes this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. #1, any unvaccinated attendees must wear masks and practice social distancing. #2, please bring your own food since the grills will not be running. And #3, all activities will be outdoors. Also, as usual, the event will be rain-or-shine (there is no longer a rain date). See you there!
