Celebrating in Englewood
Where Englewood hosts use lighting
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.
Church halls and sanctuaries
Large congregations host anniversaries, funerals and community dinners.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Block club cookouts
Summer events on cleared lots or closed streets, requiring city approval for closures.
Lighting here: Check what the venue's house lighting can do first, then rent uplights or pin spots for the cake and centerpieces.
Backyards and side lots
Graduation parties and birthdays with tents.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Community gardens and green spaces
Small gatherings and workshops among neighborhood gardens; check with the garden's organizers.
