Celebrating in Skokie
Where Skokie hosts use concessions
Skokie proudly calls itself a village of many cultures, and its calendar backs that up. Families here celebrate Assyrian, Korean, Filipino, Indian, Jewish, Greek, Mexican and many other traditions, often at home and often with a lot of relatives. A 'small' family party in Skokie can easily mean 80 chairs.
The village has a strong civic streak, too. Neighborhood block parties, school fundraisers, congregational dinners and community festivals all need seating at some point. Many of these happen in fellowship halls, community centers, school gyms and backyards on quiet residential streets.
Backyards and driveways
Bungalows and ranch homes with compact yards often spill parties onto the driveway. Plan the layout so cars and chairs aren't competing.
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.
Fellowship and social halls
Churches, synagogues and cultural centers host many dinners and milestones. Ask what seating they already have before you rent.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
Parks and community spaces
Skokie Park District spaces and areas near the Skokie Lagoons host reunions and picnics, under the park district's own rules.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
Schools and community centers
PTA fundraisers, graduations and cultural nights often need extra chairs on short setup windows.
Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
