Celebrating in North Center
Where North Center hosts use lighting
North Center is a neighborhood of well-kept brick two-flats and single-family homes, sitting between Lincoln Square and Roscoe Village along the North Branch of the Chicago River. Lincoln Avenue and Irving Park Road carry the main commercial energy, with Brown Line stops nearby, and Lane Tech College Prep's huge campus is a landmark that shapes the neighborhood's school-year calendar. Family events here, from graduations to communions, are a constant.
Backyards behind brick two-flats
Deep lots with alley access suit graduation parties, baptisms and cookouts.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
School and parish fundraisers
Gyms, cafeterias and halls around the neighborhood host auctions, dinners and communion parties.
Lighting here: Hall lighting is often harsh. Uplights in your colors and dimmed overheads change the room more than any decor.
Lincoln Avenue taverns and restaurants
Back rooms and patios fit rehearsal dinners and milestone birthdays for mid-size groups.
Lighting here: Check what the venue's house lighting can do first, then rent uplights or pin spots for the cake and centerpieces.
Riverside and neighborhood park lawns
Small park spaces suit casual parties, with Chicago Park District rules for permits and rentals.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
