Patriotic Summer Cookout

Table of Contents

Summer is here, so let’s celebrate the USA! From the end of May through early July, the calendar has multiple patriotic holidays, and any can become a fun event. Offer cook-out style food, but don’t forget the ice cream or ices! Bring out the yard games and bunting or flags! Consider broadcasting patriotic or swing type music to reinforce the fun.

Just the Basics

Here are a few easy suggestions for planning your Patriotic Summer Cookout event to get you started:
  • Set up themed yard games. If space allows, include team games like volleyball and badminton.
  • Hire a bubble machine or have soap bubble supplies on hand.
  • Schedule a Food Truck to serve lunch. Schedule a cook-out style vendor – burger & dogs to reinforce the cook-out theme. Add ice cream or ices, if possible. If your budget allows, provide free food or discounts. This can be tied to anyone in costume, and then you coordinate with the food truck vendor at the end of the day to pay out anything they’ve awarded. If budget doesn’t allow for rewards, the tenants will still appreciate being able to buy their own lunch while having fun on-site.   
    • We can help you determine a budget based on activities at your other events if needed. Most trucks will work on a maximum so you can give them your budget number and they’ll stop serving free food once that’s reached.  
    • Food Truck Discount Examples: Most food trucks will work with you to create a package to meet your budget. Ideas for how you might incorporate free tenant food include giving the first 20 people in costume free lunch, paying for the first $500 spent at the truck, or paying for an appetizer for anyone in costume up to $250.
