    Backyard 4th of July: Food, Drink, and Game Ideas

    by Elizabeth MacDonald June 22, 2020

    Backyard celebrations will be the biggest trend for holidays this year. Whether you invite friends or stick with just family, your outdoor space will be the spot everyone congregates. With the fourth of July happening in just days, there’s still time to spruce up your yard and plan a party worth remembering!

    Home renovations have taken over Quarantine 2020 - and outdoor spaces are about to become the greatest topic of conversation. As everyone is spending ample time at home, it’s no wonder things are getting a facelift!

    July 4th is known for BBQs and fireworks - both of which you can still make happen this year! Instead of simply grilling hot dogs and lighting sparklers, take a day to really plan out your event. Consider ordering games, concocting new beverages, and dabbling in some new recipes. You can share with neighbors or enjoy it all yourselves.

    Backyard 4th of July: Food, Drink, and Game Ideas

    Food

    You’ll want several snacks and appetizers to keep everyone happy throughout the afternoon and evening, but you’ll still want to serve a fun main course. Following it all with refreshing treats for dessert (boozy popsicles, anyone?) — Of course, you can still serve up all of the kid-friendly foods that you want, making sure to keep those little ones happy!
