Celebrating in Buffalo Grove
Where Buffalo Grove hosts use concessions
Buffalo Grove straddles the Cook and Lake County line, with Lake Cook Road, Arlington Heights Road and Dundee Road marking its main routes. The village is known for tidy subdivisions, Mike Rylko Community Park, Willow Stream Park and Buffalo Grove Golf Club, along with the annual Buffalo Grove Days festival around Labor Day. Buffalo Grove Days and the village’s parks give the community a lively late-summer rhythm.
Backyard tent parties
Common for mitzvahs, graduations and weddings. Confirm yard size and tent access.
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.
Park district pavilions
Mike Rylko Community Park and other parks host gatherings. The Buffalo Grove Park District sets reservation rules.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Hotels and banquet rooms
Larger events use rooms along Lake Cook Road and Dundee Road. Ask what is included.
Concessions here: Venues often have exclusive caterers, so check whether outside concession machines are allowed.
Cul-de-sac block parties
