Have a craving to grab a patch of grass, some great food and even better music? Luckily for residents of Southern Oregon (and other places that have live music in the summer), it's easy to sate the appetites for both at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville, OR. Relaxing to live music at the Britt is a summer must, so why not enjoy a picnic as you lounge with friends on a beautiful evening?

The key to packing the perfect picnic is accessibility. Choose foods that are easy to handle and pack but still satisfy. Get a gourmet look and taste - without the gourmet fuss!
For the main dish, try a savory sandwich on sturdy bread, like ciabatta, with your choice of cheeses and meats. Pair it with chips & guacamole, bruschetta, fruit salad, or chopped vegetables.
A simple skewer with prosciutto, mozzarella and chopped melon is perfect finger food that travels short distances nicely. Skewers are also useful for poking noisy neighbors once the show starts.

Choose a cookie for dessert. Palmier cookies (buttery crisps) satisfy your sweet tooth but require no clean up. Top it off with your favorite fine wine or chilled beverage and you are on your way to a well-rounded picnic that'll please any appetite.
