Celebrating in Northfield
Where Northfield hosts use lighting
Northfield is a small village tucked between Winnetka, Glenview and Northbrook, with Willow Road and Waukegan Road running through it and office parks clustered along the corridors. Residential streets have mature trees and quiet lots, and the village keeps a low profile compared with its neighbors. Its centrally located streets make Northfield a handy meeting point for hosts who draw guests from Winnetka, Glenview and Northbrook.
Backyard family parties
Quiet residential blocks suit graduation parties and holiday dinners. Check access and tent room first.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.

Corporate events often have load-in windows and building rules. Ask your property manager for the details.
Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
