Celebrating in Englewood
Where Englewood hosts use concessions
Englewood is a South Side neighborhood with a proud history of community organizing, strong churches and block clubs. The 63rd Street corridor, Halsted Street and Ashland Avenue are its main commercial streets, Kennedy-King College anchors the area's education scene, and the Green Line's Ashland/63rd terminal makes it easy to reach from downtown. Block clubs and community groups have been the backbone here for decades, and their events draw people from across the South Side.
Englewood is also known for its urban gardens and farms, and for the Englewood Nature Trail, a former rail line turned into a green walking path. Block clubs organize cookouts, back-to-school events and holiday gatherings, and churches host everything from weddings and anniversaries to community feeding programs and funerals. On weekends, you'll find fish fries, youth sports banquets and neighborhood anniversary events happening in church halls and community centers.
Church halls and sanctuaries
Large congregations host anniversaries, funerals and community dinners.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
Block club cookouts
Summer events on cleared lots or closed streets, requiring city approval for closures.
Concessions here: Venues often have exclusive caterers, so check whether outside concession machines are allowed.
Backyards and side lots
Graduation parties and birthdays with tents.
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.
Community gardens and green spaces
Small gatherings and workshops among neighborhood gardens; check with the garden's organizers.
