Celebrating in Braidwood

Where Braidwood hosts use concessions

Braidwood is a small city in far southwestern Will County, once a coal mining town and now a Route 66 stop on the way between Joliet and Pontiac. The Polk-A-Dot Drive In on the old highway is a local landmark, and the downtown strip along Main Street reflects the town's mining and railroad past. Surrounding it are farm fields, lakes and woodland.

Outdoor space defines local celebrations. The Mazonia-Braidwood State Fish and Wildlife Area, with its many lakes, is a favorite for fishing and picnics, and the area's backyards and farm lots host graduation parties, reunions and cookouts. Church halls and the community center handle showers and receptions. Weekend crowds from Route 66 travelers can also make parking tight downtown, so plan ahead when you pick a date.

  • Backyard and country lot parties

    Large lots suit graduation parties and reunions with tents and long tables.

    Concessions here: Concession machines need a level table and an outlet; popcorn and cotton candy machines each use a standard circuit, so avoid sharing it with a bounce house blower.

  • State fish and wildlife area outings

    Group gatherings near Mazonia-Braidwood need approval from the managing agency, so check on permits and vehicle access.

    Concessions here: Venues often have exclusive caterers, so check whether outside concession machines are allowed.

  • Church and community halls

    Local halls host showers, receptions and fundraisers, with seating that varies by building.

    Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.

  • Route 66 town events

    Downtown events along the old highway have limited curb space, so confirm access with organizers.

    Concessions here: Venues often have exclusive caterers, so check whether outside concession machines are allowed.
