Backyard Party Events

You can tell a lot about people by the way they throw a party, especially when they stay home and celebrate good times in their own backyards!

Photographers please upload images of your most beloved backyard bashes. We’re hoping to see DJ’s spinning records, and people dancing on portable dance floors in open tents under par cans, LED lights or fancy chandeliers. Perhaps there's a live band on staging or plywood risers in the background? Is that your father working the BBQ?

The theme stresses portability, and the idea that people can make parties happen anywhere, at any time of the year. Upload pics of family and friends in folding tables and folding chairs enjoying the best things that life has to offer on buffet tables in their own backyards.

Use the 140 character caption that accompanies each image to tell us about the event, and some of the native attractions.

The Prize, courtesy of Absolute Tent and Event Services, a tent and party rentals company in Toronto, is an 10x10 Pop-up Tent plus a $500 gift certificate to subsidize your next event rental. This is a very generous prize; that gift certificate amount is enough to insure your next party has some attractive amenities. Have a look at their party rental catalog and you’re certain to find all your party necessities plus a few others that’ll bring the party to a whole new level.
