Celebrating in South Shore
Where South Shore hosts use tables
South Shore faces Lake Michigan from 67th Street to 79th, with a long beachfront, a wide park system and a strong community identity. The South Shore Cultural Center, a former country club turned public park building, is a landmark on the lakefront, and the area's historic apartment buildings, bungalows and tree-lined streets host a steady stream of family gatherings. On summer evenings, you can watch the lakefront fill with picnics and wedding photos, each with its own take on how to celebrate.
Lakefront parks and beaches
Open space for picnics and photos; Chicago Park District permits apply for organized events.
Tables here: Park pavilions often provide picnic tables, so rent only what the permit allows you to add, and keep tables off root zones and paths.
Church halls
Anniversaries, repasts and community dinners are common.
Tables here: Halls usually supply basic 8-foot tables. Renting 60-inch rounds or farm tables changes the look without changing the room.
Bungalow and courtyard-building yards
Graduation parties and birthdays in yards of all sizes.
Tables here: Lawns are rarely level. Banquet tables with adjustable legs or a few shims keep plates from sliding, and 60-inch rounds fit better than long rows between trees.
Community centers and banquet rooms
Reunions and fundraisers with varied floor plans.
Tables here: Halls usually supply basic 8-foot tables. Renting 60-inch rounds or farm tables changes the look without changing the room.
Delivery notes for South Shore
- Lakefront wind is a real factor. Ask us for heavier chair styles for outdoor setups near the water.
