Celebrating in Dunning
Where Dunning hosts use lighting
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.
Celebrations tend to be large and family-driven: first communions, graduations, anniversary dinners and weddings. Banquet halls along Irving Park Road and Harlem Avenue are popular, and nearby Norridge and Harwood Heights add more options. Backyards are generous by city standards and usually have alley garages, which makes deliveries straightforward and keeps trucks off busy streets. Weekend church events can crowd side streets too.
Bungalow and Georgian backyards
Roomy city lots with alley garages suit communions, graduations and cookouts.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Irving Park Road and Harlem Avenue banquet halls
Halls host weddings, anniversaries and retirement dinners with large guest counts.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Parish halls and school gyms
Local parishes and schools host receptions, fundraisers and banquets.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Neighborhood park fieldhouses
Small park spaces for casual parties, under Chicago Park District rules.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
