Celebrating in Pullman
Where Pullman hosts use concessions
Pullman was built in the 1880s as a company town by George Pullman for his railcar workers, and its brick rowhouses, Hotel Florence and Clock Tower Administration Building make it one of the city's most distinctive districts. The Pullman National Historical Park, run by the National Park Service, now draws visitors from across the country, and the historic district is a living neighborhood where families host their own celebrations.
Arcade Park, the green in front of the old Hotel Florence, is a public space for picnics, while the annual Pullman house tour each October brings crowds to the narrow streets. The Metra Electric stops at 111th Street, and Lake Calumet and the Calumet River sit to the east. Rowhouse gardens are small, so many parties spill onto front stoops or into church halls.
Rowhouse gardens and stoops
Small outdoor spaces for showers, birthdays and graduation parties.
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.
Church halls
Local congregations host anniversaries, receptions and community dinners.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
Arcade Park
A public green in the historic district; confirm with the managing agency what rules and permits apply.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Industrial and warehouse event spaces
Larger venues in and near the district may suit bigger weddings and fundraisers; confirm their furniture policies.
