Lake Macquarie City Council's community partnerships manager Andrew Bryant said the free all-ages event would start at 5.30pm and include live music, story-time sessions, face painting and other family entertainment.
"Events like Picnic in the Park allow neighbours to get to know each other, create new connections in their local area and also support a vibrant evening economy in key centres across our City," Mr Bryant said.
"The event will showcase our beautiful lake, provide safe, fun and free entertainment for families and provide flow-on economic benefits to Toronto."
Visitors to the event could pack a picnic dinner, or grab a bite to eat at cafes and restaurants nearby, then head down to the foreshore for free games and live entertainment by the lake, he said.
Toronto Picnic in the Park will feature music from Connor Wink, a free meditation session, African drumming workshop, kids' planting activities, face painting, giant lawn games, as well as a Chinese dancing performance.
Visitors are encouraged to take a picnic dinner and their own rugs and camping chairs.
This event is a joint initiative of the Sustainable Neighbourhood Alliance, Toronto Area Sustainable Neighbourhood Group, Five Bays Sustainable Neighbourhood Group, Lake Mac Libraries and Lake Macquarie City Council.
