Bernard Terrell Cigars Presents
8th Annual Cigars in the Park Picnic
We’re back — and this year, we’ve elevated the experience.
Join us for the 8th Annual Cigars in the Park Picnic, the longest-running cigar picnic in the city of Chicago, curated by Bernard Terrell Cigars.
This isn’t just an event — it’s a tradition. A space intentionally created for the Family of the Leaf (FOTL) to come together, unwind, and enjoy cigars, culture, and community the right way.
🌿 A New Location. A Continued Experience.
This year, we took our time to secure a location that truly welcomes our community and the cigar experience.
We are proud to partner with the Hazel Crest Park District to bring this year’s picnic to life — creating a space where guests can smoke, shop, connect, and enjoy freely in a well-organized and supported environment.
