Planning Outdoor Christmas Events in Kenya: A Complete Guide

Christmas celebrations in Kenya are becoming more vibrant, creative, and experience-driven. For organizations, families, churches, and clubs looking to host memorable holiday gatherings, outdoor events offer the perfect opportunity to combine nature, festive décor, and engaging activities. As a leading event planner, Created With Love Events specializes in designing seamless and magical outdoor Christmas events across Nairobi and other regions in Kenya.

This guide provides essential insights on how to plan a stress-free and unforgettable outdoor event in Kenya during the festive season.

1. Choose the Right Outdoor Venue

Location is everything. Christmas events often require open, airy spaces with enough room for activities, décor, and guests. Some suitable outdoor venue options include:

Parks and recreational gardens
Private lawns and estates
Outdoor restaurants and terraces
Beachfront venues (Mombasa, Diani, Malindi)
Corporate grounds and community centers

When selecting a venue, consider accessibility, parking, weather patterns, and availability of essential amenities such as washrooms and security.

2. Create a Christmas-Themed Decor Setup

Outdoor event décor determines the entire mood. At Created With Love Events, we incorporate premium Christmas styling elements such as:

Elegant balloon garlands in festive colors
Holiday-themed backdrops for photo sessions
Christmas trees and light installations
Chic table settings with red, white, and gold accents
Ambient lighting for evening celebrations

A well-decorated venue ensures your Christmas event feels warm, magical, and visually appealing.

3. Choose the Right Tent Setup

Outdoor Christmas events in Kenya often require shade and weather protection. Depending on your theme and guest size, you may consider:

High peak tents
Clear tents for a luxurious festive feel
Pagoda tents for VIP spaces
Stretch tents for modern open-space setups

We provide tent hire services along with décor, lighting, and full setup to ensure your guests remain comfortable throughout the event.

4. Add Fun Entertainment and Games

A festive celebration is never complete without interactive entertainment. For outdoor Christmas events, we recommend:

VR games for corporate teams and families
Bouncing castles for kids
Giant Jenga and board games
Face painting and kids’ activities
Music, DJ, or live performers
Trampolines and inflatable slides

Entertainment transforms your event from ordinary to unforgettable.

5. Provide Christmas-Themed Food & Treats

Outdoor events pair perfectly with seasonal snacks. Popular options include:

Popcorn and cotton candy machines
Hot chocolate and festive drink stations
Christmas pastries, cookies, and cakes
Outdoor buffet or live cooking stations

We can coordinate food vendors or provide trusted recommendations to match your event needs.

6. Prepare for Weather Changes

December weather in Kenya is often sunny, but light showers can occur. Always plan your outdoor Christmas event with:

Rain covers or waterproof tents
Umbrellas or shaded areas
Proper floorboards to avoid muddy grounds

We ensure all setups are weather-ready to keep your program uninterrupted.
