Backyard Movie Night Essentials

The ION Speaker Projector Plus is a must-have with its built-in projector and speaker system.The projector can run for up to two hours on one charge and works with 30 to 150-inch screen sizes. Add a projector screen and you've got yourself a backyard movie theater that's ready to display your favorite flicks.

If you want to make backyard movie night a regular event year-round, an outdoor television is the way to go. Sunbrite TV offers multiple options for you based on where in your backyard you plan to put the TV and whether the location gets direct or partial sunlight exposure. You'll be able to watch the best summer movies outside, and catch the football game in November too!

No one wants to miss or pause the movie to go grab a drink, so make sure to keep your YETI cooler or tumbler on hand. The cooler will come in especially handy if you've got a big party coming over. You can keep plenty of drink options available nearby so no one has to miss a moment of the fun. If it's just you and your significant other, grab your YETI Tumblers to enjoy your favorite hot drink or ice-cold beverage while you're watching the movie.

When the sun goes down, you'll need some extra lighting in the backyard to add to the theatrical feel. Grab some smart string lights and hang them on the fence, umbrella or between the trees for some added ambiance. You can also use them to outline a pathway for people to walk through the backyard, or outline the area for optimal viewing!

If you're looking to make this an all-day affair, try adding a movie to the end of a family barbecue. This can also double as a birthday party or another celebratory family get-together that lets you maintain social distancing.

Okay, maybe the neighbors won't love it as much as you do, but your family and friends sure will! Grab a karaoke machine and you'll be able to rock out until the sun goes down. It's fun for all ages, so it'll also keep young kids or the young at heart busy until the movie starts!
