Celebrating in Lincoln Park
Where Lincoln Park hosts use lighting
Lincoln Park takes its name from the city's largest park, and a lot of local celebrations happen in its orbit. Couples take portraits at the Lincoln Park Conservatory and along the North Pond, families gather after graduations at DePaul, and summer weekends fill with garden parties behind rowhouses on streets like Fremont and Burling.
Rowhouse and brownstone gardens
Backyard parties and showers where access is often through a gangway or alley gate.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Historic parish halls
Church halls that host receptions, baptism parties and community events after services.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Spaces near the zoo and conservatory
Popular backdrops for photos and gatherings, subject to their own event and permit rules.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
Rooftop decks on newer homes
Common on renovated single-family homes, reached by interior stairs.
Lighting here: Rooftops need wind-rated fixtures and battery uplights where cords cannot run. Keep lights low to protect the view.
Delivery notes for Lincoln Park
- Gatherings in the park itself usually require a Chicago Park District permit. Confirm what's allowed before you rent anything for a park event.
- Rooftop decks reached by interior stairs work fine with lighter stackable chairs. Tell us the number of flights when you request a quote.
