The holiday is observed annually on the first Monday in August. The origin of the Northern Territory Picnic Day is not completely clear. According to one source on Picnic Day the freeing of approximately Chinese Coolie workers is commemorated.
The Chinese Coolies they were actually slaves provided the cheap labour for the construction of the North Australian Railway, a track that connected the cities of Darwin and Larrimah. After completion in the workers were given the right to stay in Australia as free citizens and received sufficient money for a passage by steamboat to Hong Kong.
However the Chinese went to the Adelaide River for a picnic instead. It mentions that the day was originally installed for the hard working rail workers to enjoy a picnic on the Adelaide River. Any activity that allows us to hang with our friends and loved ones is something worth doing.
That's why picnics are so great! They allow us to combine our two favorite pastimes: friends and food. It's easy to eat lunch at your desk every single day without fail.

This potentially will lead to diminished sales in the downtown area which gives them the financial excuse to shut down not financially viable and the potential for increased crime in the city streets due to anger caused by lack of access to drinking establishments and people drinking more heavily in uncontrolled environs Higher crime rate also makes Picnic Day nonviable.
Either way, it appears as if the city is doing everything in it's power to ensure that there is no Picnic day next year and hurt the pockets of those who work in the industry this year as punishment for years previous.
It is absolutely ridiculous, not to mention extremely hypocritical of the city to be taking these measures at this point in time. Permanent reduction, or reduction in capacity for just that one day? A common formula is to take the square footage of a room subtracting 'private' areas such as behind the bar and divide by That is standing room only. So far as i know, alcohol sales alone doesn't affect the formula but im no fire inspector. Email the state fire marshal herself.
The coroner ruled the death a homicide, but no charges were filed because Heinig had asked his friend to punch him. Picnic Day Weekend saw a great deal of law enforcement in town.

All told, the different groups received over 1, calls for service and had more than officers on duty. More information can be found in a May 2 Sacramento Bee article. What disturbed me about Picnic Day were the undercover cops driving around like thugs. We were walking along third street when a tan, unsuspecting SUV turned on lights and a siren and stopped at a street corner D or E street, I think.
We thought maybe it was some idiots with illegal lights. Three guys hop out of the car, yelling at some guys on the street corner to "cut it out or you're going downtown. They looked like hired thugs and behaved that way too. Is this really necessary, guys? As with past Picnic Days, driving anywhere near campus or downtown was a snarled traffic mess that was best avoided.
But even outside of that circle, the telltale red cups and people hanging out on their front lawns could be seen. All of those parties that I saw, however, were of a reasonable size and seemed under control.
