Celebrating in Sycamore
Where Sycamore hosts use lighting
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.
Lighting here: String lights between trees or poles turn a yard into a venue after dark. Plan power runs and keep cords off walkways.
Historic home backyards
Large lots near downtown suit tent weddings and graduation parties.

Lighting here: Park events usually end at dusk; if yours does not, battery lanterns and uplights avoid the need for power.
