Ending Summer Bucket List ideas
CAKE FAM !
Summer might be winding down, but there’s still plenty of time to make a few more memories before the season is officially over. Whether you want one last adventure, a laid-back day outside, or an excuse to get the group together, now is the perfect time to finish summer strong.
Plan a Beach Day
Keep it simple: grab some snacks, bring a speaker, grab your CAKE pen, pack a few towels and spend the day by the water. Stay through sunset, take some photos, and make it one of those easy summer days you’ll wish you had more of once fall hits.
Catch a Sunset Somewhere New
Find a viewpoint, rooftop, hiking trail, park or beach you haven’t been to before and make a night out of it. Bring your favorite playlist, some food and enjoy the last few long summer evenings.
Take a Last Minute Road Trip
You don’t need a huge vacation planned. Pick a nearby city, beach town, lake or national park and take a quick day trip or weekend getaway. Sometimes the spontaneous trips end up being the best ones.
Have a Backyard Hangout
Invite some friends over, put on music, fire up the grill and keep the night going outside. Add games, drinks, snacks or a projector for an outdoor movie night.
Go to One More Concert or Festival
Summer and live music go hand in hand. Find a local show, festival, outdoor concert or DJ set and get one more night of dancing in before festival season starts slowing down. We have Nocturnal coming up and WasteLand !
Try Something You Haven’t Done Yet
Go paddle boarding, kayaking, surfing, camping, hiking, roller skating or hit a new swimming spot. Summer is the perfect excuse to try something random just because it sounds fun.
Have a Pool Day
If you’ve got access to a pool, make a full day out of it. Invite the crew, bring food, throw on a summer playlist and spend a few hours doing absolutely nothing.
Explore Your Own City
Try a restaurant you’ve been saving, visit a neighborhood you normally skip, check out a local market or find a cool outdoor spot nearby. You don’t always have to travel far to make the day feel different.
Make a Summer Playlist
Put together all the songs that defined your summer. Add the tracks you heard at festivals, on road trips, at parties or during late night drives. A few months from now, that playlist will bring everything right back. Or make sure to check out all our weekly playlist !
End Summer With Your Favorite People
At the end of the day, the best summer plans don’t have to be complicated. Get outside, call the group, throw something together and enjoy the time while you still can.
Summer isn’t over yet. Check a few more things off the bucket list, make some questionable last minute plans, stay out a little later and give the season a proper send-off.
CAKE Fam, finish summer strong.
