Key Takeaways:
Don’t leave planning your community picnic to the last minute. Annual church gatherings are a great opportunity to foster goodwill and build relationships with members of your local community through food, games, and music.
Explore party equipment rental services from a local company that offers entertainment, shelter, and seating options to make your Lowtown picnic a hit. Here are our top tips for your pre-event checklist, including the essential rental items to book when planning your annual church picnic.

Venue
Make sure you book a venue that can accommodate the expected number of attendees. A well-known open space or park in your neighborhood can be a great pick, as members won’t have any trouble getting there.

Invitations
Design and send invites for your church picnic well in advance, with clear RSVP instructions so that you can plan food, seating, and entertainment accordingly.

Event Flow
Design an event flow that’s entertaining, engaging, and meaningful. These could include performances by community members, a fundraiser for a meaningful cause, or a kids' talent show.

Food & Beverages

Finger foods and refreshing summer drinks are a safe bet for any picnic. But it can also be wise to organize the picnic as a potluck, asking church members to each bring a dish and share a hearty meal.
If you’re planning to organize all the logistics equipment yourself, think again. It’s hard to source a large number of chairs and transport fans and tables for big gatherings. Which is why renting all these items can be the solution to making your community picnic a success.
1. Music
Music is a must to get picnic-goers into the groove. Depending on the budget, you can hire a DJ, support a local band, or stick to a tried-and-true playlist with some nice Bluetooth speakers.
2. Games for Kids

Keep kids entertained at your Lowtown church picnic with durable, triple-stitched inflatables and bounce houses.
Ultimate Party Rentals offers a variety of themed inflatables, including obstacle courses, dinosaur-themed bounce houses, pirate water slides, colorful sky tubes, and carnival games. Kids also enjoy getting their faces painted and crafting miniature pieces.
3. Activities for Adults
You can also set up games for adults attending your church picnic, including:
We don’t have a minimum order size, so whatever your requirements and however many or few units you need, we’ve got you covered.
A sprawling tent and ample seating for your church picnic will give community members all the space they need to network and build relationships, all while staying safe from the elements.
Although we offer several types of tent rentals, you can choose the exact dimensions based on the size of the gathering and any designated zones, such as entertainment or food.
At Ultimate Party Tents & Events, we offer plenty of seating options for gatherings and Lowtown picnics, such as:
Our expansive collection of seating options offers something for every preference, with no minimum order size.
Whether your church picnic has a casual vibe or a formal tone, choosing the right serveware and china will complete the picture. Even if you’re not organizing a sit-down meal for the attendees, you’ll still need cooking equipment to heat food at the venue, as well as large tables for community members to sit at.
Incorporating polyester table linens on serving tables is another way to give your space a cohesive and elevated appeal.
Account for the weather and organize the necessary heating or cooling equipment under tents. Whether you require portable air conditioners, pedestal fans, misting fans, or space heaters, Ultimate Party Rentals can set up and retrieve the equipment for an additional fee.
No church picnic is complete without a talent show, performance, or fundraiser. Whatever your needs, an elevated staging area is a crucial addition to your picnic venue, allowing community members to gather and applaud one another’s artistic capabilities.
Complete your picnic with a rental dance floor where attendees can break a leg and mingle to the sound of carefree tunes. Choose
Now that we’ve covered all the possible essentials you might need for your picnic, it’s time to draft your invites, send them out, and begin tallying the attendees.
Serve plenty of finger foods and filling, carb-heavy items such as egg rolls, fries, hot dogs, sliders, and popcorn. Don’t forget to organize caramelized apples, s'mores, and candy floss to evoke nostalgic fairground memories at your Lowtown picnic.
Organize classic games such as tag, corn hole, whack-a-mole, and darts for teenagers and adolescents. Younger children might enjoy playing in a bounce house, on a trampoline, or on an inflatable obstacle course.
On average, church picnics last 4 to 6 hours. The duration of your event will also depend on the activities you have planned and the number of attendees.
Not necessarily, but Lowdown picnics can be planned around a theme, such as boho or rodeo.
