Celebrating in Garfield Ridge

Where Garfield Ridge hosts use lighting

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.

    Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.

  • Parish halls

    Receptions and luncheons with fixed schedules.

    Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.

  • Banquet halls on Archer and Harlem

    Larger weddings and retirement dinners; ask about outside rental rules.

    Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.

  • Nearby forest preserve groves

    Summer reunions; permits are handled by the Forest Preserves of Cook County.

    Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
