Memorial Day is quickly approaching, it falls on May 28th this year! On this day we remember and honor those who’ve lost their lives while serving our country. It’s the perfect day to plan a party with loved ones and it’s the kick-off to summer picnics, backyard barbeques, and beach parties. Start planning your next red, white and blue bash - it’s just a month away!

Music

For an outdoor Memorial Day party, it’s all about the music! The holiday will be here before you know it, so it’s crucial that you waste no time when booking entertainment. No matter the style of your patriotic celebration, there’s a vendor for you: bagpiper, cover band, country band, DJ, and more!

Food, Drinks & Decor

It’s all about the stars and stripes. There are plenty of flag-inspired DIY projects you can create to decorate your party with, such as pinwheels, windsocks or painted lawn stars. Check out our Pinterest board to learn how to make these Americana themed projects. As far as food and drink go, the more color the better! Incorporate red and blue produce into the menu like berries, and use food dye to turn an average dish into something festive.  

Fun for the Kids!

Plan out activities to keep the little ones occupied all day or night. Rent a bounce house to keep the kids active, we can’t promise the adults will be able to resist the fun. You can never go wrong with a face painter or balloon twister! Tell these vendors the theme ahead of time and they’ll make sure to bring their star-spangled materials with them.
