First Day of Summer: Fun Ideas to Kick Off the Season

Posted by Sara Chinnock on

Looking for ways to celebrate the arrival of summer? 

The first day of summer is a fantastic excuse to celebrate and soak up all the sunshine, warmth, and endless outdoor adventures. It is a special occasion that deserves to be enjoyed to the fullest.

At Sara's Boxes & Boards, we love planning and making little moments extra special. Whether you're looking for a low-key gathering or an all-out bash, we've got a bunch of fun ideas (and an easy-peasy solution) to help you make the most of the season. So, let's get this party started!

 

Host a Backyard Barbecue

Nothing marks the beginning of summer quite like the smell of grilling food filling the air. Hosting a backyard barbecue is a classic way to celebrate! Invite friends and family, set up a few lawn games like cornhole or frisbee, and enjoy some burgers, hot dogs, and fresh summer salads

 

Plan a Beach Day 

If you're lucky to live near the coast (we don't, but there are lakes by us), a beach day is a fantastic way to kick off summer. Pack a picnic, grab your sunscreen, and head to the shore for a day of sun, sand, and surf. 

Don't forget to bring:

  • Beach games like frisbee, volleyball, or paddleball.
  • Comfortable beach chairs and a large umbrella for shade.
  • There are plenty of snacks and summery drinks to keep everyone energized and hydrated.

 

Organize a Pool Party

A pool party is an excellent way to cool off and have fun this summer. Whether you have a pool in your backyard or access to a community pool, you can create a memorable event with these tips:

  • Inflatable pool toys like floaties and noodles for added fun.
  • Poolside snacks like fruit skewers, popsicles, and finger foods.
  • Pool games like diving contests or water balloon fights add an extra layer of excitement.
