Celebrating in Albany Park
Where Albany Park hosts use lighting
Albany Park is one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Chicago, with Korean, Latino, Middle Eastern, Filipino, Eastern European and South Asian families all living within a few blocks of each other. Kedzie Avenue and Lawrence Avenue are packed with restaurants, bakeries and banquet-style halls, and celebrations here tend to be big, family-centered and layered with tradition. Birthdays, weddings and religious gatherings regularly run well past fifty guests.
The North Branch of the Chicago River runs through the neighborhood, and the green space along it is a real draw. Gompers Park has a lagoon and wide lawns, River Park is a beloved fieldhouse and pool, and Eugene Field Park offers a large field and playground. All are Chicago Park District spaces, so permits and equipment rules apply. The Brown Line ends at Kimball, making this a convenient meeting point for guests coming from across the city.

Kedzie and Lawrence host halls for weddings, birthdays and religious celebrations with large guest lists.
