Popcorn, cotton candy and concession rentals in Calumet Heights

Calumet Heights is a quiet South Side neighborhood of brick bungalows and other single-family homes, centered on Stony Island Avenue and 87th Street. It's a stable, homeowner-heavy community with active block clubs and churches, and its generous lots and mature trees make it a popular backyard-party neighborhood. Many homes here sit on wide lots with mature trees, which gives the area a more suburban feel than much of the city.

Stony Island Avenue carries shops, and the Metra Electric's 87th Street stop makes arrival easy for guests. The lakefront and the large parks of South Shore sit to the north and east, while the Calumet region's lakes and forest preserves lie to the southeast. Church halls and banquet rooms along 87th Street handle bigger events. Seasonal events at nearby churches and community groups also bring steady need for banquet seating through the year.
