It’s almost the end of September, which means the AFL 2023 Grand Final is just a few sleeps away!
Here’s how to prepare yourself for the AFL Grand Final with these entertainment tips;
Be Ready for the South Aussie Weather
South Australian weather can be unpredictable, from sudden rain showers to gusty winds. But don’t let that ruin your AFL Grand Final plans! If you’ve got outdoor blinds installed, keep your remote or pull stick nearby, so you can quickly adjust the blinds to shield your space from the elements without missing any of the game.
This way, the party stays outdoors where it should be – whether it’s a sunny day or not. Your guests will thank you as they enjoy the game in comfort, without the sun beaming in their eyes or the wind causing chaos.
Food Suggestions: Aussie Favourites for Game Day
No AFL Grand Final is complete without delicious footy food! Aussies love their classic pies, pasties, and snags, and what better way to enjoy them than in your outdoor space? Consider grabbing a box of Vili’s assorted pastries, perfect for easy eating during those tense moments.
For a true Aussie feast, fire up the Barbie! We recommend locally sourced sausages and burger patties from SA-owned Slape & Sons, available at Drakes, Foodland and IGA. Throw some veggies on the grill too, and you’ve got yourself a winning combination for Grand Final day.
Snack Ideas to Keep the Party Going
Snacks are essential for any party, and locally-based Yummy Snack Foods. have got you covered. From nuts to dried fruit and chocolate, there’s something for everyone. These light bites will keep your guests satisfied during halftime and beyond.
You can find Yummy Snack Foods at Welland or your local Drakes, IGA, and Romeo’s Foodland stores.
Drinks: Keep It Local with Non-Alcoholic Options
If you’re keeping things non-alcoholic, why not support local with South Aussie favourite, Bickfords? Their range of cordials, juices, and traditional sodas offers something for everyone, and you can find them at Drakes, Foodland, and Tony & Marks.
Enjoying a cool drink on a warm day under the shade of your outdoor blinds is the perfect way to relax and keep your guests refreshed.
Create the Perfect Outdoor Entertainment Space
Hosting a party in your outdoor area is the best way to make the most of the South Australian spring weather, especially when you have outdoor blinds. They provide the flexibility to adjust to changing weather conditions while keeping your space open and inviting.
