Celebrating in Back of the Yards
Where Back of the Yards hosts use tables
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.
Backyards and gangways
The usual setting for birthdays, baptisms and graduations, often with canopies.
Tables here: Lawns are rarely level. Banquet tables with adjustable legs or a few shims keep plates from sliding, and 60-inch rounds fit better than long rows between trees.
Banquet halls along 47th and Ashland
Quinceañeras and weddings; confirm each hall's outside-rental policy.
Tables here: Halls usually supply basic 8-foot tables. Renting 60-inch rounds or farm tables changes the look without changing the room.
Parish halls
Communion and confirmation receptions use church halls with fixed schedules.
Tables here: Halls usually supply basic 8-foot tables. Renting 60-inch rounds or farm tables changes the look without changing the room.
Sherman Park and Davis Square Park
Large public parks for gatherings; permits go through the Chicago Park District.
Tables here: Park pavilions often provide picnic tables, so rent only what the permit allows you to add, and keep tables off root zones and paths.
