Celebrating in Bourbonnais

Where Bourbonnais hosts use tents

Neighborhoods mix newer subdivisions with older riverside streets. Backyard parties are common, especially for graduations, and the village's churches and community spaces host showers and receptions. The Bourbonnais Grove Historical Society preserves the French-Canadian roots of the area, a fact that shows up in local festivals and family traditions. Many guests drive in from Kankakee, Bradley and Manteno, so families here tend to plan for bigger headcounts than the lot suggests, with plenty of extra chairs for grandparents and cousins.

  • Graduation backyard parties

    Olivet commencement weekends bring tents and chairs to yards across the village.

    Tents here: Before anything else, mark sprinkler heads, septic fields and buried utilities. Stake tents need soft ground and clearance; frame tents can sit on patios with weights.

  • Perry Farm Park gatherings

    The park's open lawn and farmstead setting suits small ceremonies. Check with the Bourbonnais Township Park District about reservations.

    Tents here: A tent next to the barn adds a dining or dance space. Gravel lots need frame tents with ballast instead of stakes.

  • Church and community halls

    Receptions and showers in village halls vary in what seating is included.

    Tents here: Halls rarely need a tent, but an entry canopy keeps guests dry between the parking lot and the door in spring and fall.

  • River and state park picnics

    Kankakee River State Park nearby hosts group outings. Check permits with the managing agency.

    Tents here: Most park districts limit staking and require approval for tents, so a weighted frame tent or a reserved pavilion is often the simpler route.

How to plan

Getting tent rentals right

  1. 01

    Size it

    Seated dinner: 10-12 sq ft per guest. Standing cocktail: 6-8 sq ft. Add room for dance floor, bar and buffet.

  2. 02

    Check the ground

    Pole tents are staked into grass; frame tents can sit on pavement with water barrels or concrete weights.

  3. 03

    Permits and utilities

    Many Chicago-area towns require a permit for tents over 400 sq ft, and staking needs a utility locate (JULIE in Illinois).

  4. 04

    Plan for weather

    Add sidewalls, heaters or fans; a Chicago spring or fall evening can drop below 50°F.
