Celebrating in Ashburn
Backyard entertaining is the heart of Ashburn. Lots are deep, alleys are common and many families host graduation parties, communions and birthdays at home. Nearby parks, parish halls and banquet rooms along 79th and 87th Streets handle larger gatherings, and the area's proximity to Beverly, Evergreen Park and Oak Lawn means guests can arrive from across the south suburbs. On summer weekends, you'll see tents and banners from one end of a block to the other, so truck access can shrink fast.
