Celebrating in DuPage County
Where DuPage County hosts use concessions
DuPage County sits directly west of Chicago, and it is almost entirely suburban, which makes it one of the most event-dense counties in Illinois. The county seat is Wheaton, and the biggest names are Naperville, Downers Grove, Lombard, Elmhurst and Oak Brook. Metra's BNSF line runs through Naperville, Downers Grove and Hinsdale, the Union Pacific West line serves Elmhurst, Glen Ellyn and Wheaton, and the I-88 and I-355 corridors tie the whole county together.
Forest preserve and park pavilions
DuPage's forest preserve district and park districts rent shelters for parties. Each has its own reservation and vehicle access rules.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Suburban banquet halls and country clubs
Oak Brook, Lombard and Naperville have plenty of halls. Ask what seating is included before ordering extras.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
Downtown plaza and riverwalk events
Naperville, Wheaton and Glen Ellyn host festivals and weddings near downtown, where parking and loading take planning.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Backyard graduation and family parties
Large suburban lots with tents are the default for graduation season, and chairs are usually the first thing families run out of.
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.

- Metra grade crossings in towns like Naperville, Downers Grove and Glen Ellyn can slow a truck. Tell us which side of the tracks your site is on.
