I am going on a picnic vs I am going to a picnic

These are both acceptable phrases, but they would be used in somewhat dissimilar contexts. 'I am going on a picnic' implies the action of physically moving to the location of the picnic, while 'I am going to a picnic' focuses more on the event or activity of attending the picnic.
