Christina Figueroa, a latina Philly resident born in the North Philadelphia section of the city, created Philly Pop Up Picnics in 2020 during the height of the pandemic.  

"Picnics have always brought me such joy throughout my life! Some of my earliest memories are of packing up the station wagon with blankets and food for a day of sunshine and fun with my beloved Lala(grandmom) I am excited to share my passion for picnics with the people of Philly! 

Being a proud member of the LGBT community, it was important for me create a space for ALL to come and enjoy time with their people".

Christina lives in Chester, PA with her two college bound children, Joseph Ryan and Jaden Xavier
