Celebrating in Sycamore
Where Sycamore hosts use concessions
Sycamore is the DeKalb County seat, and its historic courthouse square is the heart of town. Brick storefronts, mature trees and a classic Victorian streetscape make the center a favorite backdrop for photos. Each fall the Sycamore Pumpkin Festival takes over downtown, and the weeks around it are among the busiest of the year for local gatherings. The grain of old brick, shade trees and the Victorian porches that ring the square give the town a look that photographs well in every season.
Courthouse square gatherings
Historic buildings and the square host weddings and receptions, with limited curb space and event closures.
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.
Historic home backyards
Large lots near downtown suit tent weddings and graduation parties.
