What comes into your mind when you hear the words “foam party”? Maybe you envision legendary pics of Paris Hilton firing a foam cannon into a massive crowd after one of her DJing sets. Or revelers in a sea of glowing foam during Pride festivities. Perhaps you think about dozens of kids plowing feet-first through blankets of foam on a slip-and-slide. Well, foam parties are all of that and more. This helpful guide explains what you need to know about hosting a Chicago foam party — or foam parties anywhere else in The Prairie State.

All About Foam Parties in Chicago

Can you do a foam party in Chicago, IL? Absolutely! Setup is pretty simple, especially if you have your own equipment. The foam is also easy to clean up at the end when all your revelers have gone home. And while owning equipment saves you money in the long run, you can test the waters by renting foam machines and other essentials.

Including foam parties in your service menu is a smart move. Finding your niche is key, along with good safety practices at each event.

Where to Throw a Chicago Foam Party

Foam parties have come a long way since their beginnings. They’re still trendy event options at beach parties and nightclubs, where the trend originated many years ago. But foam parties are now everywhere, enjoyed by older and younger partiers alike.

Necessity is the mother of invention, so new innovations in equipment and materials have developed along with these parties’ popularity. We aren’t using dish soap and shop vacs anymore to rocket fountains of foam into hyped-up crowds. With professional foam machines plus hypoallergenic foam powder, today’s parties are safer than in the past.

How to Throw the Perfect Chicago Foam Party

Throwing a Chicago foam party is easy. You’ll want to keep a few things in mind during the setup process. If your party’s indoors, consider covering the walls and floors with large plastic sheets. Securing these sheets with duct tape should keep them in place and prevent foam from seeping around the edges and onto bare surfaces. Next, stage your party area with furniture that won’t be damaged by water or foam. Outdoor pieces like lawn chairs, tables, and benches are smart choices.

Setting Up for a Successful Foam Party:

Water and electricity don’t mix. During setup, cover electrical sockets and plugs with protective covers or carefully secured pieces of plastic. Stereos, musical instruments, lighting, and DJ booths should be far away from the action to avoid contact with foam and possible electrical shock. Besides these smart practices, you should observe some additional safety precautions:

  • Select the right soap. Our hypoallergenic foam is a safe option.
  • Tell partygoers to wear shoes. They’ll be less likely to trip or sustain foot injuries from being stepped on.
  • Avoid skidding and sliding on floors or other ground.
  • Don’t allow guests to pick each other up.
  • Provide disposable cups, plates, bowls, and utensils for food and drink.

If any sliding’s involved, there should be slip-and-slide equipment. Sliding should only be permitted on these types of surfaces. You may also want to offer a safe place for guests to store their mobile devices. This can help steer clear of broken screens — or even busted phones — while they’re out there having a blast in all that foam.

Foam Party FAQ

Where can I set up the foam machines?

You can deploy our foam machines almost anywhere! You just need to make sure you’ve got plenty of room for the resulting foam. Foam machines can be paired with inflatable foam pits. You can also set them up inside a bar with a barricade, your backyard area, or even on water slides and slip-and-slide equipment.

Is the foam safe?

Our foam is organic, odorless, and eco-friendly. It’s comprised of water and our foam powder mixed and pushed out by the foam machine. It’s about as slippery as regular H2O and just as safe — in fact, it’s 100% safe. This foam solution is also non-toxic, non-staining, and hypoallergenic.

What do I need for my foam party?

You just need a few basic supplies to host a foam party. You’ll need adequate space, plus a standard 120V household outlet for each machine and a garden hose for the water. Your outlets should have a minimum capacity of 15 amps each. Don’t forget to include a 50-gallon drum and a 5-gallon bucket with a lid for storage. We supply everything else to make your foam party come to life.
