Fantastic Ideas for a Summer Outdoor Party

Summer is a great time to plan an outdoor party with friends and family!

The summer is a great time to get together with friends and family to enjoy the beautiful weather with great company. Whatever fun event you have planned, Broadway Party & Tent Rental is here to help with your entertainment needs with tents and inflatables, fun games like volleyball, bocce ball, burlap sack race bags, and giant Jenga!  Make the Fourth of July, family reunions, and any other summer celebration you are planning more memorable and fun with one of the ideas below; as found on the Of the Hearth website:

  • Host an ice cream social. Ice cream is the perfect complement for summer, so why not socialize with your friends while consuming this cold, creamy treat? Ice cream socials can be as simple or elaborate as you’d like. Purchase gallons of ice cream at the store or make your own. Have a few toppings available or provide a lavish spread. Make banana splits or simple sundaes. Whatever you eat, be sure to kick back, relax, and visit with all those in attendance.
  • Throw an outdoor game tournament. Did you ever play ladder ball when you were a kid? Or what about horseshoes, kickball, badminton, or croquet? These outdoor games aren’t just for kids—they are fun for adults, too! Set up a few of these games in your yard and gather your friends for a tournament. Adults and kids alike can participate.
  • Go on a picnic. Pack a basket of finger foods, grab a blanket, and head to a nearby park for a picnic. You’ll have plenty of time to visit while you eat and if you’d like to do something active when you’re done, you can toss around a Frisbee or fly a kite. If you have active kiddos, then consider selecting a park with a playground for them to enjoy.
  • Host a barbecue. Fire up your grill and enjoy some barbecue with your friends. Keep it simple by grilling hamburgers and hotdogs or try something new, such as grilled pizza, kebabs, or jalapeno poppers. If you don’t have a lot of time or money to invest in preparing food, then have a potluck—have all of your friends bring their favorite dishes to share with the group.
