Celebrating in Portage Park
Where Portage Park hosts use concessions
Portage Park takes its name from the park at its center, a sprawling Chicago Park District space with an Olympic-size pool built for the 1959 Pan American Games, along with fields, a fieldhouse and wide lawns. Around it are blocks of classic Chicago bungalows, many with brick fronts and deep backyards, and the Six Corners shopping district where Milwaukee, Cicero and Irving Park meet. It's a neighborhood of long-time families and newer arrivals.
Polish heritage runs strong here, and you'll see it in banquet halls, parish halls and family celebrations along Irving Park and Milwaukee. Weddings, anniversaries and communions often run long and large, with sit-down meals and plenty of guests. That makes the headcount, table layout and chair count the heart of the order, and we help you plan those up front.
Bungalow backyards with alley access
Deep brick-bungalow lots suit graduations, baptisms and family barbecues.
Concessions here: Concession machines need a level table and an outlet; popcorn and cotton candy machines each use a standard circuit, so avoid sharing it with a bounce house blower.
Polish and Eastern European banquet halls
Large halls near Irving Park and Milwaukee host weddings, anniversaries and communions.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
Portage Park and fieldhouse events
Park lawns and fieldhouse rooms for community parties, under Chicago Park District rules.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Parish halls and school gyms
Local parishes and schools host receptions, fundraisers and sports banquets.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
