With summer right around the corner and the temperatures unpredictable we want to share some of our tips and tricks for beating the heat!
- Shade is your friend: Set up tents, canopies, or large umbrellas to create ample shaded areas for guests to escape the direct sun.
- Cooling stations: Set up misters or spraying fans to create cool zones, such as our Rain Room.
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate: Provide plenty of easily accessible, drinking water and also encourage guests to bring their own water bottles too.
- Food choices: Opt in for lighter foods like salads, fruits, and cold cuts that are less likely to spoil in the heat. Offer refreshing treats like popsicles, ice cream or Snow Cones.

- Communication is key: Keep an eye on the forecast and communicate any potential changes to your guests well in advance. Have a backup plan in case the heat becomes unbearable, like moving the event indoors if possible.
Here are some additional items that should be considered when planning an event or party during unpredicted heat:
- Limited activity: If you have planned physical activities, consider scaling them back or offering them in shaded areas during cooler times of the day. One way to limit activity is by offering water attractions, such as a Slip n Slide or water slide.
- First-aid kit: Make sure you have a well-stocked first-aid kit on hand in case of heat-related illnesses.
By following these tips, you can ensure your event is a fun and safe experience for everyone, even in extreme heat!
