Picnic, also known as Hurrah, is a small, quiet place in southeastern Hillsborough County, Florida, United States. It's not a city with its own government, but rather an unincorporated community.

History of Picnic

The areas known as Picnic and Hurrah actually started as two separate communities. This happened not long after the Civil War ended. The name "Picnic" comes from a popular spot where people used to gather. This special place was located right where the Alafia River and Hurrah Creek meet.
