Celebrating in Clearing
Where Clearing hosts use dance floors & staging
Clearing is a Southwest Side neighborhood of postwar bungalows and Georgian-style homes, tucked beside Midway Airport and the rail yards. It takes its name from the nearby Clearing rail yards and industrial district, and the neighborhood has a blue-collar, close-knit feel with many long-time residents and multigenerational families. It's a neighborhood where families have stayed for generations, so graduations and communions often involve large extended families.
Local shopping and parish life cluster along the neighborhood's main avenues, and the Orange Line's Midway terminal is close. Parish halls host communions, confirmations and weddings, while yards are the main stage for graduation parties and summer birthdays. Because the neighborhood sits near the flight path, planes are a regular backdrop to outdoor events. The area also sees steady parish activity, with fish fries, festivals and school events through the year.
Backyards and garages
Graduation parties, communions and birthdays at home.

Receptions and luncheons with fixed schedules.
