Authentic Ideas Proudly Presents - The Suburban Summer Parties

Remember the days when you were young and your parents used to throw house parties in the summer holidays?

The kids playing with hula hoops and Frisbees, gorging themselves on chocolates and sweets? The bratty boys kicking balls into the flower beds and spraying everyone with the hose-pipe?
The dogs stealing the chops or boerewors off the braai? Parents huddled around the fire talking politics or rugby, drinking cold beer and cocktails?

The Ice-Cream Man driving past with his delicious soft-serve cones to give you brain freeze? Girls giggling in the corner in their bikinis ready to splash in the pool or run through the sprinkler?

And as the evening progresses, your parents start embarrassing you by dancing with the dogs or singing out of tune? Don’t you miss those days?! Well we’re bringing them back! Good Old Fashioned Fun!

Four parties around the inland of South Africa to let you relive your suburban childhood. But with a few twists, a little improvement, and much less embarrassment! The Suburban Summer Parties are fantastic summer events moulded on your childhood but upgraded into fantastic, outrageous, cheesy fun days out!

Featuring plastic swimming pools, (2 venues have real pools) sprinklers, jumping castles, hula hoops, soft serve, braai foods, cocktail umbrellas, outdoor bars, Brutal Fruit Slush Puppies and sing-along songs. Bands, deejays, competitions, prizes and general mayhem!

The Rockford Deejays will make you dance (just as badly as your parents…) with their mix of classic 80’s and Top 40 hits!

Cutting Jade, Lonehill Estate and The Last Supper (Canada) will perform at all four Suburban Summer Parties, as well as a handful of other top national and local bands per venue.

Cutting Jade has just released their fourth album entitled, “From Nothing” from which they will perform songs live alongside their regular smash hit singles such as “10 Seconds”.

Lonehill Estate will perform songs from their new album “Hong Kong Dollar” songs as well as songs from their SAMA nominated debut album and some party tracks thrown in.

The Last Supper is a rock band from Canada. They have performed with artistes such as Our Lady Peace, Iron Maiden, KISS, Alanis Morrissette and many more and they are currently on a 100 country world tour as part of the “Band Without Borders” television documentary series.

The Last Supper will perform at all four Suburban Summer Parties and film the shows to be part of the television documentary. Make sure that you chuck on those bikinis and board-shorts and come along to show the world how beautiful South Africans are and just how hard we can party!

The Suburban Summer Parties are jam packed with free stuff, competitions, games and giveaways, starting the moment you walk through the door. Each Suburban Summer Party is limited to 1500 people only and the first 200 people through the door will each receive a Summer Alcho-Jello tot. (Over 18’s only.)

There will be competitions throughout the event including prizes for “Best Bum on the Beach”, “Miss Wet T-shirt”, and “Best Limbo Dancer”.
Spot prizes include The Ice-Dunk Challenge. Placing your hand inside a barrel of freezing cold ice to retrieve a numbered pebble, resulting in you winning an amazing spot prize, or a dreadful booby prize!

Visit The Party Pig Shop; a ‘beach’ kiosk raising money for the Charity Party Pig. The piggybank gathers money to buy musical equipment for select under privileged schools. Several items at the P.P. Shop are “sold” for donations.

Other items such as chocolates, chips and sweets are sold to raise money for the Pig. The Party Pig Shop also provides general services such as Sun Tan Spray and Tabard Spray for Charity Pig Donations. It will also stock our homemade, totally delicious and extremely lethal Summer Alcho-Jello tots!

Many companies have come on board to make these parties phenomenal and some of the stage throws, ice dunk prizes and spot prizes are donated by Lizzard Clothing, Dulce Café, Anri’s Beauty and Skin Care, EMI Music, SonyBMG, Durex, The Lucky Fish Music Festival, Superstar Party Hire, Jagermeister, and Playstation.
