The cool, blue water that makes your skin tingle. The smell of burgers and hot dogs wafting through the air. The sound of children running and screaming, playing and laughing. A pool party is one of the most quintessential activities of the summer and as the weather is warming up it’s a great idea to open up your pool and invite a couple of friends over!

Besides from the pool and guests the two most important aspects of any pool party is the music and the food. For your pool party focus on colorful, and light food to give your jam a summery vibe! Some great ideas include: fresh fruit, popsicles, burgers, hot dogs, chips and guacamole, and freshly-squeezed lemonade to compliment everything.

Some great tunes to rock out to include indie pop, alternative, and rock songs that are electric and will give the party the energy that a beautiful day in the summer deserves. Check out this Spotify playlist, or this one for some fantastic songs that might transform your pool party to a poolside dance party!
