Summer brings plenty of
opportunities to do something with that special someone besides dinner
and a movie. And you don't need to spend a lot of money to have a
memorable time with your favorite gal or guy. These low-cost summer date
ideas are equal parts fun and romance -- the perfect combo for a day in
the sun or an evening under the stars.
Go for a cheap meal at a local food truck. Use a free app like Roaming Hunger or Street Food Finder to locate one to try.

Enjoy the bounty of summer produce: Go to a local farm and pick your own berries, then come home and make a dessert to share.
You don't even have to leave your yard for this one. Set up a fire pit and roast some marshmallows or make s'mores. Dig out sleeping bags and a tent (if you have one) and sleep under the stars.

Turn up the volume on a favorite playlist, roll down the windows, and hit the road. Find some scenic back roads to explore and see where the day takes you.
Fourth of July
isn't the only summer occasion with fireworks displays. Check the
calendar, find a good spot (hint: try the top level of a parking
garage), and gaze at the spectacle. Bring along some sparklers and
chilled beverages in a cooler to make it more fun.
[post_ads]Playing in the park was fun as a
kid -- and it's still fun for a carefree and cheap summer date with
someone young at heart. Go prepared with a kite, a Frisbee, a football,
baseball mitts and a ball, a blanket for lounging, snacks, sunscreen,
bug spray, and plenty of water.
Forget the local pub -- it can
wait till the weather turns chilly. Instead, head out to the fair or a
festival for a merry summer date. Take a spin on cheap rides, play
games, sample food and drinks, and enjoy being out and about holding
hands.
Want to attend a summer
festival but can't afford the admission? Volunteer at the event. Helping
set up or sell merchandise can be rewarding and fun. When the shift is
over, you can catch the headliner or get in the next day for free.
