Celebrating in Prospect Heights
Where Prospect Heights hosts use concessions
Prospect Heights sits between Arlington Heights, Wheeling, Mount Prospect and the Des Plaines River, with Elmhurst Road, Palatine Road and Camp McDonald Road carrying much of the traffic. The Des Plaines River Trail and the Cook County forest preserves along the river give the area a green edge, while Chicago Executive Airport is nearby. It is also a convenient meeting point for guests from Arlington Heights and Wheeling.
Backyard tent parties
Confirm yard size and where the tent can go, and check for utilities or drainage issues.
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.
Banquet halls near Elmhurst and Palatine roads
Ask what chairs and tables are included before adding rentals.
