Bring your own picnic, there’s shade and there’s sun; and then when that’s over, it’s time for the fun!
Grandpa Henry’s Picnic is back at the Oshawa Museum on July 14, 2024! Take a trip down memory lane and experience an afternoon in our heritage gardens with your family. Discover the fascinating history of the Henrys, one of Oshawa's earliest settler families, on your journey. You might be surprised to learn that Thomas Henry used to organize a special picnic for his grandchildren every year, and we're continuing that tradition he started over 150 years ago!
This year, you can bring your own picnic and treat yourself to hand-churned ice cream and popcorn. There will be games, races, costumes, and tours of Henry House and the garden, so there's something for everyone to enjoy!
The admission fee for Grandpa Henry’s Picnic is $5 per person, but if you're a member of the Oshawa Historical Society, you can get in for free! Make sure to join before the event to take advantage of this discount. The picnic will run from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., but you're welcome to stick around and explore the grounds afterward.
Please note that this is a rain or shine event, and some activities may be subject to change due to inclement weather. Phone Jill at 905-436-7624 ext. 106 for more information or sponsorship opportunities.

12:30pm - 02:30pmA raucous, pop-rock-musical that takes it all off!
While spying on their wives at a "Girls' Night Out," a group of unemployed steelworkers from Buffalo come up with a bold (and unclothed) way to make some quick cash. In preparing for the show, they find themselves extremely exposed, both physically and emotionally. As they conquer their fears, self-consciousness, and prejudices, the men come to discover that they're stronger as a group, and the strength that they find in each other gives them the individual courage to let it all go.
Based on the cult hit film, The Full Monty is filled with razor-sharp humour, toe-tapping pizzazz, and the most highly anticipated closing number of any show.
