Summer Parties? Now is the Time in the Northeast.

If we were going to spend summer in any region of the U.S., it would be the Northeast. After all, these states feature the most temperate days of the season, rendering them perfect for outdoor parties and events.

For example, in the State of Virginia, the average summer temperature is reportedly around 73.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Similarly, Delaware hovers around 74.2 degrees Fahrenheit — and these are some of the hottest summer temperatures in the Northeast!

So if you’re looking to shake off the remnants of the frigid winter and make the most of the summer season to come, here are three of our top recommendations:

The Right Temperature for Tapas

As previously mentioned, summer in the Northeast is the mildest of all America’s regions. Thus, you have more options to relax in an outdoor environment without the same level of concern — both in terms of sun and in terms of food.

Thus, tapas presents the perfect party platter! A Spanish-originating cuisine, tapas features light snacks or appetizers that may be either hot or cold, depending on what you prefer that day. The higher the temperature, the cooler your tapas, is what we recommend!

Of course, another way to keep your loved ones and fellow tapas tasters comfortable? By investing in a state-of-the-art Sunesta screen! Block bugs and pests, prevent prying eyes, and stay deliciously cool behind your choice of outdoor protection.

Bringing Back the Backyard Brunch

If you’d rather focus on drinks over food, we recommend bringing back the summertime backyard brunch. From Shirley Temples for the kids to mimosas for the adults, you’re sure to sip and savor your way through the Northeastern summer day.

And if you’re hoping to keep everyone cool as they duck in and out of the designated drink area — or if you’re hoping to keep those ice cubes frozen as long as possible —- we recommend installing a Sunesta awning!

Not only will a custom-designed awning keep you up to 20 degrees cooler while shielding you from the brunt of direct sunlight, but with your choice of over 150+ fabric choices, your entire set-up will be picture-ready.

Gathering Your Green-Thumbed Friends

If you’re hoping to get a little more active in the summer, we recommend hosting a garden party… literally!

Invite your friends with a similar passion for plants and either host a plant swap, paint clay pots, or get to planting your seasonal seeds together. No matter what you choose, you’ll be celebrating the return of summer by virtue of your green thumb.

Of course, gardening is hard work, so don’t forget to protect yourself. SPF and straw hats aside, investing in a pergola cover so that you can pursue your planting endeavors in peace from the Northeastern sun is of the utmost importance!

And if you’re not sure where to find the right pergola cover, awning, or screen for your home, then it’s time to reach out to Sunesta!
