Celebrating in Pullman
Where Pullman hosts use tents
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.
Tents here: Before anything else, mark sprinkler heads, septic fields and buried utilities. Stake tents need soft ground and clearance; frame tents can sit on patios with weights.
Church halls
Local congregations host anniversaries, receptions and community dinners.
Tents here: Halls rarely need a tent, but an entry canopy keeps guests dry between the parking lot and the door in spring and fall.
Arcade Park
A public green in the historic district; confirm with the managing agency what rules and permits apply.
Tents here: Most park districts limit staking and require approval for tents, so a weighted frame tent or a reserved pavilion is often the simpler route.
Industrial and warehouse event spaces
Larger venues in and near the district may suit bigger weddings and fundraisers; confirm their furniture policies.
Tents here: Before anything else, mark sprinkler heads, septic fields and buried utilities. Stake tents need soft ground and clearance; frame tents can sit on patios with weights.

Check the ground
Pole tents are staked into grass; frame tents can sit on pavement with water barrels or concrete weights.
- 03
Permits and utilities
Many Chicago-area towns require a permit for tents over 400 sq ft, and staking needs a utility locate (JULIE in Illinois).
