Autumn is almost here, and that means pumpkin patches, trunk-or-treats, and fall festivals galore! Churches, schools, and community groups are hard at work planning for exciting community events that embrace the harvest season, and we are 100% here for it.
Whatever your fall festival or seasonal community event looks like, we have dozens of popular inflatables, games, and other party rentals that you’ll want to book early before someone else does. Here are the must-haves for your Kansas City or St. Louis fall festival event.
Fall Festival Faves for Schools: Sports Spectaculars
Fall is about more than just Halloween and changing leaves in the school world: it’s also prime football season! From kicking off the first game to Homecoming prep, fall is the perfect time for schools to plan spirit-building community events that get their students excited, keeping the excitement of the start of the school year going.
Many students go to football games to socialize as much as they do to watch the game, so why not give them a few extra ways to have fun and stay longer? Our new carnival-style inflatable football game will let the non-athletes get in on the action and have some fun between plays.
Looking for more ways to embrace football season? (Sorry, baseball, you’ll get your chance to shine in the spring). Here are a few other football-themed party rentals for your next school event:
- Football Bowling: A sporty take on bowling that is portable and perfect for any school celebration!
- Mechanical Football: Because nothing says school spirit like getting bucked off of a giant football, right?
- Football Toss Game: Time to practice those passes — and have fun together too!
Fall Festival Faves for Churches: Kid-Friendly Fun
For fall-themed events at churches and places of worship, many host a Trunk-or-Treat or a Harvest Festival. The goal is to create a safe, family-friendly community event to celebrate the season. We have two Bible-themed party rentals that are perfect for any church event: the Noah’s Ark Moonwalk and the Noah’s Ark carnival game. Both of these Bible story-themed rentals are perfect for bringing a little Sunday School into the mix!
Looking for more? Here are a few other party rentals that add some fun to your church community event without scaring the younger attendees:
- Inflatable Fall Selfie Booth: Part of our new series of inflatable backdrops, this selfie station is 100% harvest-themed. It’s perfect for capturing the fun of the day!
- Stagecoach Combo: No fall festival is complete without a bounce house, and this one gives off fantastic vintage Wild West vibes!
- Candyland Crawlthrough: We all know the real reason kids like trick-or-treating: to hoard massive amounts of candy that will be devoured within a week! This super-sweet crawlthrough is the perfect partner for your Trunk or Treat community event.
Fall Festival Faves for Community Events: Pumpkin Patch Parties
Kansas City and St. Louis’ community organizers, take note! We know you’re planning those annual pumpkin patch and fall festival events for your community, and you want to make them as fun as possible for the children of the Midwest.
Both as guests wait to board the hayride, and after the ride is done, here are a few fun party rentals that can add a little Halloween spirit to your community event:
- Halloween Maze: This maze is perfect for any fall festival, complete with spooktacular artwork that will give maze-runners just the right amount of spooky fun as they search for a way out of this inflatable haunted house!
- Scooby Doo Moonwalk: Nothing says “jinkies!” quite like this Scooby-Doo-themed moonwalk, featuring everyone’s favorite mystery-solving crew. Scooby Snax not included.
- John Deere Tractor Racing: Complete with four tractor-themed pedal go-karts, this rental is great for racing around the farm, field, or parking lot — wherever you have space to set up a little race track!
Must-Haves to Round off Your Fall Festival
Now that you’ve chosen the main attractions for your community event, it’s time to cover the basics! Your guests will be thankful for the shade, the seating, and the dining zones that give them opportunities to rest between selecting pumpkins and racing through obstacle courses. While planning your fall festival, make sure you cover all of the essentials:
- Tents for shade and shelter when hosting outdoor community events
- Tables and folding chairs, especially if you’re providing concessions
- If your event will have ticketed games, don’t forget the tickets or wristbands!
And of course, remember the cotton candy! Yes, it’s essential!
