Confession: We really like tailgating season, probably more than the next guy. We are so excited that it’s just about time to get this party started! With football (and our beloved Broncos) on the horizon, it’s time to brush up on our favorite tailgating tips. Even if you’re not that into football, we know you love a good tailgate. Follow these tips for a foolproof good time.
Get yourself a Pop Up Canopy.
Grilling, eating, drinking, playing cornhole, socializing and supporting your team is no easy feat. Make sure all of the above is under a shelter that goes up and comes down quick and easy. We highly recommend our Majestic or our Party Shade style canopies and why not add some fun, fan flair with logos and your team’s colors!
Be Prepared.
Of course, autumn weather is unpredictable, be prepared for that. But also make sure you think ahead about everything you and your friends are going to need for the pre-game party. Remember to bring cups, silverware, plates, napkins and don’t forget the leftovers. It’s always helpful to throw in some Ziploc bags, Tupperware & some aluminum foil. Check out this awesome list of tailgating must haves before you head out.
Plan your menu.
The best part of tailgating is all the food, right? Start getting ready a few days before. And make it easy on yourself-keep it simple. Make finger foods that are easy to clean up. Bringing something you made ahead of time? Pack it in a disposable container. Here are some fabulous recipes you could try out.
