Celebrating in Humboldt Park

Where Humboldt Park hosts use tents

The park itself is one of the city's most beautiful, with a lagoon, a boathouse designed in the Prairie style, formal gardens and wide lawns. It's managed by the Chicago Park District, so permits and rental rules apply for events. The 606 trail on Bloomingdale Avenue is a short trip from the park.

  • Humboldt Park lagoon and lawns

    Scenic spots for photos and picnics, with Chicago Park District permit and equipment rules to follow.

    Tents here: Most park districts limit staking and require approval for tents, so a weighted frame tent or a reserved pavilion is often the simpler route.

  • Division Street banquet halls and restaurants

    Event rooms along Paseo Boricua host quinceañeras, weddings and anniversaries.

    Tents here: Halls rarely need a tent, but an entry canopy keeps guests dry between the parking lot and the door in spring and fall.

  • Courtyard and two-flat backyards

    Typical spaces for baptisms, birthdays and summer cookouts.

    Tents here: Before anything else, mark sprinkler heads, septic fields and buried utilities. Stake tents need soft ground and clearance; frame tents can sit on patios with weights.

  • Church and community centers

    Congregations and cultural groups host receptions and community celebrations.

How to plan

Getting tent rentals right

  1. 01

    Size it

    Seated dinner: 10-12 sq ft per guest. Standing cocktail: 6-8 sq ft. Add room for dance floor, bar and buffet.

  2. 02

    Check the ground

    Pole tents are staked into grass; frame tents can sit on pavement with water barrels or concrete weights.

  3. 03

    Permits and utilities

    Many Chicago-area towns require a permit for tents over 400 sq ft, and staking needs a utility locate (JULIE in Illinois).

  4. 04

    Plan for weather

    Add sidewalls, heaters or fans; a Chicago spring or fall evening can drop below 50°F.
