Celebrating in Back of the Yards
Back of the Yards grew up around the Union Stock Yards, and the limestone Stockyards Gate at Exchange and Peoria still stands as a reminder. Generations of Polish, Lithuanian and Mexican families settled in the workers' cottages and frame two-flats here, and the Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council, founded in 1939, remains part of local identity. Celebrations are big and family-centered.
Sherman Park, a historic park with a lagoon and fieldhouse, and Davis Square Park give the neighborhood public green space for graduations and summer birthdays. Ashland, Halsted and 47th Street are the commercial spines, with bakeries, taquerias and banquet halls. Parishes anchor baptisms and communions, with receptions in halls and yards nearby.
Lots are narrow, many properties are older frame homes with gangways, and street parking is tight. We ask about access and ground conditions, plan for carrying chairs where trucks can't reach, and suggest styles that stack and move easily. Send your guest count and date, and we'll get you an itemized quote. A short planning call usually covers alley width, gate size and parking, which are the three details that matter most on these blocks.

Questions
Renting chairs in Back of the Yards
Where can I rent tables and chairs in Back of the Yards, Chicago?
We connect you with vetted Chicago-area rental vendors who deliver to Back of the Yards homes, halls and parks. Send your date, headcount and venue in a quote request and we'll itemize delivery, setup and pickup. We're a new company booking our 2026-27 season, so a short planning call is a good way to confirm styles, counts and timing before you commit.
Do I need a permit to host a party at Sherman Park?
Park gatherings may need a Chicago Park District permit, especially large groups or rented equipment. Check with the district for current rules before booking. We can't interpret those rules for you, so confirm what applies with the right office, then share the approved setup time and vehicle access with us so delivery and pickup fit your plan.
Can you deliver to a backyard with a narrow gangway?
Yes. Tell us the gangway width and steps, and we'll plan to hand-carry chairs and tables with a longer setup window. Include a photo or quick sketch, the nearest place a truck can stop, and any stairs, gates or elevators in your quote request. Delivery, setup and pickup are itemized together, so more detail means a more accurate quote.
How far ahead should I book for a quinceañera?
Several months ahead for spring and summer Saturdays. We're taking requests for the 2026-27 season now. Lead time depends on your date and order size, and popular Saturdays go first. Send a quote request with your guest count and venue, then book a short planning call so we can confirm availability with our vendor network.
Can you match chairs and linens to my party colors?
Linen colors vary by vendor availability, so share your palette in the quote request and we'll confirm options. Send your date, headcount and setup details in a quote request, and we'll confirm what's possible and itemize delivery, setup and pickup together. Planning ahead also helps us suggest chair styles that suit your space.
