During the 21st edition of the Zoomer evenings, ARTIS-Park is buzzing with life. And that includes a picnic blanket…….
As soon as the evening turns golden and the picnic blankets are rolled out, all kinds of smells, colors, sounds and flavors come to life. As in previous years, the Saturday evenings of July and August are dedicated to the Zoomer (Summer) evenings. Every weekend, after the park closes, you can enjoy live music, tours, workshops and good food.
Picnic blankets designed by illustrator Nick Liefhebber
New this year are the picnic blankets designed in collaboration with illustrator Nick Liefhebber. Not only will you relax in the grass near the music field, but you will also learn all kinds of things from it!
Each picnic blanket contains special facts about all life in ARTIS. Did you know that golden-cheeked gibbons sing together their entire lives? Or that blades of grass can communicate through their roots? These and many more facts are on the four different rugs, which are sustainably produced from recycled PET bottles and are made for long-term use. At the end of a Zoomer evening you fold it up and take it home for the next picnic.
