Celebrating in Garfield Ridge
Where Garfield Ridge hosts use concessions
Garfield Ridge is a Southwest Side neighborhood of brick bungalows, Georgian homes and ranch houses on tidy lots, home to Midway International Airport. Polish, Mexican and other families live here side by side, and many households hold multiple generations under one roof, which makes family parties big and frequent. Multigenerational households mean gatherings tend to be large, and a family birthday can easily run past fifty guests.
Backyards and garages
Graduation parties, communions and birthdays are usually hosted at home.
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.
Parish halls
Receptions and luncheons with fixed schedules.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
Banquet halls on Archer and Harlem
Larger weddings and retirement dinners; ask about outside rental rules.
