If not, be sure to browse our available inventory and stop into Fiore VW to snag your new ride! You and your VW will be the talk of the party! However, if you’ve volunteered to host this year’s festivities, be sure to take a peek below to see some helpful tips and tricks to help you throw the ultimate 4th of July party that everyone deserves after the beginning of this crazy year!

It’s All About The Game:

• Put out a variety of yard games, such as cornhole, ring toss, ladder ball, bocci ball, a football, baseball and gloves for playing catch, and frisbees. 

Slide Into Summer:

• The 4th of July marks a big milestone in summer, tell your guests to soak up the sun in their bathing suits while having some good old fun with a slip and slide! Perfect for the kids too! 

Keep The USA Theme Going:

• When the water fun wears off, keep your guests entertained with playful buckets filled with July-themed tattoos, stars and striped pinwheels, “snapper” fireworks, sparklers, themed candy, and glow bracelets for when the sun goes down

Soak Up The Sun Safely:

• Keep guests safe with plenty of sunscreen and bug spray close at hand.  Set out little buckets with sunscreen and bug spray in several different places on the deck, patio, and backyard, so guests never have to look far to find some and reapply. 

S’more Food The Better:

• If you have a fire pit in your backyard, consider setting up a fun s’mores buffet for your guests.  Think beyond the Hershey bar and include a variety of chocolate options including the traditional milk chocolate, Hershey’s Cookies & Cream bars, dark chocolate options, and even Reese’s peanut butter cups. 

DIY Decorating: 

• Keep the budget low with fun DIY decorations! Look around your home to see what you already have on hand that could fit your Fourth of July party’s red, white, and blue theme.  
• Mason jars, empty cans, plastic bottles, wine bottles, etc, can all be transformed into cheap and easy centerpieces, utensils holders, or candy displays!

Teamwork Makes The Dream Work:

• Consider making your party a potluck.  When it comes to food, summer potlucks are a great option for large parties. Helps bring a variety of food to your party without having to break the bank and slave in the kitchen for days beforehand
