Celebrating in Sandwich
Where Sandwich hosts use concessions
Sandwich sits where DeKalb County meets Kendall County, in the western Fox Valley farm country. It is best known for the Sandwich Fair, held each September since 1888, a tradition that draws huge crowds. The Sandwich Opera House on Railroad Street, a historic 1878 building, anchors a small but lively center.
Fair-season gatherings
September's Sandwich Fair draws crowds and affects road access, so plan around it for nearby events.
Concessions here: Venues often have exclusive caterers, so check whether outside concession machines are allowed.
Farm and barn weddings
Barns and farm lots outside town host weddings with gravel drives and uneven ground.
Concessions here: Barns with limited outlets need a power check before adding machines that draw a lot of current.
Church and community halls
Small-town halls host showers, receptions and fundraisers with a wide range of guest counts.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
Backyard family parties
Large lots make graduation and reunion parties easy to hold at home with tents and long tables.
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.
Delivery notes for Sandwich
- Rural drives are often gravel. Tell us where the truck can park and how far chairs must be carried.
- Fair week brings extra traffic around the fairgrounds. Confirm delivery windows early if your event falls near it.
