Celebrating in Roseland
Where Roseland hosts use concessions
Roseland began as a Dutch farming settlement in the 1840s and grew into a bustling shopping district along Michigan Avenue. Today it's a residential neighborhood of bungalows, Victorian houses and tree-lined streets, with a strong tradition of churches and block clubs. Historic Pullman lies just to the east. Today it's a residential neighborhood where block clubs keep up long traditions of summer cookouts and holiday celebrations.
Church halls
Anniversaries, repasts 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.
Backyards
Graduation parties and birthdays, often with canopies.
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.
Palmer Park
Picnics and reunions; Chicago Park District permits may apply.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Banquet rooms along Michigan Avenue
Receptions and fundraisers.
Concessions here: Venues often have exclusive caterers, so check whether outside concession machines are allowed.
