Celebrating in Dunning
Where Dunning hosts use concessions
Dunning sits on the far Northwest Side, between Irving Park Road and Belmont Avenue, with the villages of Norridge and Harwood Heights nearby along Harlem Avenue. Its streets are lined with brick bungalows and other classic Chicago homes, and the Harlem-Irving Plaza mall in neighboring Norridge is a well-known nearby shopping destination. A long-settled mix of families gives the neighborhood a warm, traditional character.
Bungalow and Georgian backyards
Roomy city lots with alley garages suit communions, graduations and cookouts.
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.
Irving Park Road and Harlem Avenue banquet halls
Halls host weddings, anniversaries and retirement dinners with large guest counts.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Parish halls and school gyms
Local parishes and schools host receptions, fundraisers and banquets.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.

Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
