Last month, we asked how you prefer to spend your summer months, and most of you said watching the sunset. No matter your go-to warm weather activity, summer evenings are for slowing down and soaking it all in. Whether you’re planning a solo reset or hosting friends and family, here are a few ways to make the most of your golden-hour moments.
1. Host an Outdoor Movie Night
Set up a simple screen or a blank wall, grab a projector, and stream your favorite summer classic. Add cozy blankets, string lights, and popcorn for the perfect backyard theater vibe.
2. Take Dinner Outside
Turn an ordinary dinner into something special by eating outdoors. Whether it’s a backyard BBQ, a picnic in the park, or just dessert on the porch, fresh air makes everything taste better.
3. Go for a Golden Hour Walk
Evening walks hit different in the summer. Grab a friend, your dog, or a great playlist and take a stroll through your neighborhood or a local trail as the sun goes down.
4. Unplug and Watch the Sunset
Sometimes, the best plan is no plan. Set your phone down, step outside, and just take it all in. The colors, the calm, the stillness–it’s the ultimate way to wind down.
5. Play a Lawn Game or Two
Cornhole, bocce ball, ring toss, whatever your favorite is, a little friendly competition adds fun to any evening. These low-key games are great for all ages and easy to set up in a backyard or park.
No matter how you spend it, summer evenings are made for joy, connection, and a little bit of magic. So go ahead–make this season count.
