Rentals for Tailgate Parties in Buffalo

When football season hits Buffalo, you can feel it in the air — the smell of grilling, the sound of laughter, and the sea of red and blue everywhere you look. Tailgating here isn’t just a pre-game tradition; it’s a lifestyle. And whether you’re parked outside Highmark Stadium or hosting your own backyard “Bills Mafia” bash, JL Events, Planning & Rentals has everything you need to turn game day into an unforgettable experience.

1. Keep Drinks Icy Cold with Cooler Rentals

No tailgate is complete without a cooler packed to the brim. Our Igloo MaxCold Coolers and Revo Bar Coolers are perfect for keeping your beverages ice-cold from kickoff to overtime. Hosting a crowd? Add the Revo Hot Bar to keep your chili or dips warm — ideal for those crisp Buffalo fall days.

2. Bring the Fun with Outdoor Games

Between plays, keep the energy high with some friendly competition! Our XL Connect 4, Cornhole, and Battle Toss rentals bring out everyone’s competitive side. These crowd-pleasing games are great for adults and kids alike and make any tailgate feel like its own mini-festival.

For something with a little more adrenaline, ask about our Axe Throwing Rentals — yes, you read that right! Safe, contained, and totally Buffalo-approved fun.

3. Slushy Machines for an Icy Game-Day Treat

Our slushy machine rentals are a fan favorite for tailgates. Serve up frozen lemonades, fruit punch, or even adult-friendly alcoholic slushies to keep everyone refreshed. It’s a cool twist that makes your setup stand out from the sea of tents and grills.

4. Warm Up with a Fall Favorite: The Apple Cider Bar

When the temperatures drop, nothing says Buffalo autumn like warm apple cider. Our Apple Cider Bar Rentals come with hot and cold options, toppings, and even a bartender to serve your guests. It’s a cozy touch that pairs perfectly with tailgates in October and November.

5. Add Energy with Our Nerf War Rentals

If you’ve got kids (or competitive adults) in the group, our Nerf Rival Rentals bring next-level excitement to your tailgate zone. Choose from our Domination Arena Bundle or smaller Mini Battle Setups — each includes Nerf blasters, barricades, ammo, and safety gear. It’s the perfect pre-game warm-up before cheering on the Bills!

6. Lighting, Power & Essentials

For night games, you’ll need the right setup. Our string lighting rentals add a soft glow to your tent or tailgate area, and our quiet generators ensure your slushy machines, speakers, and lighting run flawlessly all evening. Don’t forget to add garbage cans and drink dispensers to keep things clean and organized.

7. Bundle It All Together

To make things even easier, check out our Game Day Party Bundle — including coolers, two outdoor games, a slushy machine, and axe throwing — all for one low rental price. It’s the ultimate Buffalo tailgate setup that’s simple, stress-free, and ready for kickoff.
