Show your pride and prepare for Canada Day with our Canada-Themed Displays >>
Finally, after a bit of a rough Canadian winter, we’re looking forward to a proper summer! Summertime means a lot of things: natural tans, eating ice cream, long walks and jogs and, most importantly, summer events!
When you think of summer events, you probably think of food trucks, decorations, fun games, and mingling, but do you consider outdoor furniture? Think of it this way:
Imagine going to an event where there are no trash cans, nowhere to sit, no recycling, and nowhere to lock up your bike!
Nightmare material, truly.
With the summer months fastly approaching, it’s time to consider getting your community some outdoor commercial furniture. Outdoor community furniture makes summer events not only more enjoyable but also more accessible.
So, shall we go through 5 summer events made better with outdoor commercial furniture?
We get it. The first thing to come to mind when organizing a summer event for your community likely isn’t commercial outdoor furniture. You’re more likely to think of staffing, logistics, games and fun, food, etc. But outdoor commercial furniture is essential to making a summer event stellar.
There are a few reasons why you need to make sure your summer events NEED outdoor furniture:
1. Offering Accessibility: People with physical limitations or disabilities need to have the option to easily sit and stand, making outdoor commercial benches a vital part of any summer event. Not only this, but additional outdoor furniture also needs to be structured to be accessible to everyone, even those who have personal challenges.
2. Creating Green Spaces: Making sure everyone at your events can properly dispose of trash and recycling ensures you can keep your community streets clean. This encourages your community to be an active part of green efforts.
3. Making Everyone Feel Welcome: Many people drive to summer events, but some people use alternative forms of transportation. Whether it’s a bicycle, scooter, e-bike, or the like, making your event accessible to those who use alternative forms of transportation ensures more people will be compelled to turn up!
4. Developing Beautiful Spaces: A major part of the experience of summer events is ensuring people are in awe of how beautiful they are. Installing outdoor planters ensures that, in the warmer months, your public community event is always beautiful.
5. Providing Places to Eat: Many summer events have food options, such as barbecue, local restaurants, food trucks, or kiosks, etc. During a busy summer event, there may be limited locations to eat, meaning having picnic tables available enables eventgoers to sit down and enjoy their meal. They also provide a relaxing place to rest and recoup. Providing a place to eat encourages the community to invest their money into the event and local businesses, benefiting everyone.

Summer is synonymous with socializing and going to events outdoors. Having the right outdoor commercial furniture is just the icing on the cake. What’s more? You can have site furniture at both public and private events, enhancing the experience for everyone. The wonderful thing about it is that site furniture is durable and crafted for practicality, and there are also a lot of style options, too!
Let’s explore 5 summer events made that much better with outdoor commercial furniture:
There is nothing like getting fresh veggies, jams, cheese, and goods from a local farmer’s market! But, sometimes, it takes you a hot minute to go from stall to stall, and you may need to sit and have a rest. Having commercial-grade benches and picnic tables not only provides you with a rest stop, but also an opportunity to try any artisanal treats you purchased. To make the pot that much sweeter, you can also add shade umbrellas or tents to block out the sun, allowing everyone to cool off. The added benefit of having a place to rest? People may catch a second wind and go to stalls and make purchases that they would have forgone due to fatigue.
Is there anything more invigorating than listening to live music under the open sky? It’s a key indicator that summer has arrived. Even though it’s likely people will be up and jumping to the music, you still need to have seating and ample waste disposal options.
In fact, according to recent statistics, Coachella produces approximately 600 tons of waste within three days, while other music festivals, such as StageCoach and Desert Trip, produce about 100 tons per day.
With green initiatives being top-of-mind these days, making sure there is proper waste and recycling disposal available is important. Not only this but making bike racks accessible allows eventgoers to choose more eco-friendly forms of transportation.
Oh gosh, if you've never gone to a food truck festival, you're in for a foodie's paradise. It is vital for commercial picnic tables and bistro-style seating to be available to ensure your patrons have designated dining areas.
This allows them to go from stall to stall, enjoying the food at comfortable spots while encouraging them to rest and regain the energy to explore. What's more? Classic Displays has plenty of accessible options when it comes to outdoor seating and table arrangements, maximizing convenience.
You know why these picnic tables are so important? You need to have a place to eat several food truck classics, including:
Do you remember going to the drive-in theatre as a kid, with blankets, pillows, and buying those cheesy movie theatre nachos? We do. That's why outdoor movie screenings are held so near and dear to the hearts of the community, and they most certainly benefit from site furniture. Outdoor movie screenings bring the entire neighbourhood together for a fun evening of entertainment. But people need places to sit, places to dispose of their waste, and places to secure their bikes and such. Without that, these events wouldn't be accessible to everybody. Making the community feel included is the key to having a successful event! Never underestimate the importance of commercial outdoor furniture.
You can consider options from Classic Displays, such as the Urban Flare Accessible Container, the AccessAbility Table, or the U20 Rack Rail System.
Just for fun, here are some popular movies you can offer at your community movie nights:
Spring and summer are well-known for being wedding season, and it's also a popular time for private parties and celebrations of varying types. By having elegant, weather-resistant furniture, you can ensure guests are comfortable and able to enjoy the ambience. You can choose customizable pieces to match certain themes or functions, and make sure your outdoor commercial furniture is cohesive with your outdoor event. You can even add additional outdoor lighting to bring everything together.
There are a lot of other events you can consider when it comes to having outdoor furniture. While we’ve narrowed down the main ones, we find most relevant, they aren’t limited to what we’ve listed. Here are some additional events you may need outdoor commercial furniture for:
Every summer event is made better by commercial outdoor furniture is worth it, especially if it keeps the community involved. Accessibility and consciousness keep people coming back and willing to invest in their local communities. So, don’t hesitate to make the initial investment in site furniture today.
