Rhythms Under the Sun (or Stars)

Choosing the right music to amplify the open, friendly vibe of a park setting is crucial.

‍

Music Selection

Jazz and Acoustic Bands: Their lively yet non-intrusive tunes can uplift the spirits without overwhelming conversations.

Staging Amidst the Greens

Natural Stage: Utilise the park's natural slopes or an open clearing.

Portable Platforms: If you need elevation, consider portable stages that are eco-friendly and easy to set up and dismantle.

Themed Decor: Depending on your party's vibe — picnic blankets for casual gatherings, fairy lights for evening dos, or colourful bunting for daytime parties.

‍

Activities Beyond the Tunes

Picnic Corners: Encourage attendees to bring along snacks and create a shared picnic atmosphere.

Frisbee & Ball Games: A fun way to burn off those picnic calories and engage both kids and adults.

Nature Walks or Scavenger Hunts: Guided walks pointing out interesting flora or simple treasure hunts with nature-themed clues.

Dressing the Part: The host could opt for a relaxed, summery look — think sundresses, Panama hats, comfy sandals, or even a playful twist with a park ranger outfit.

Memorable Takeaways

Customised Frisbees or Kites: Not just fun souvenirs, but they also encourage attendees to return to the park and play.
