Celebrating in Wauconda
Where Wauconda hosts use concessions
Wauconda sits on Bangs Lake, at the crossing of Route 12 and Route 176, with a small downtown on Main Street. Lake houses, older cottages and newer subdivisions mix on the village's winding streets. Lakewood Forest Preserve, with its trails and the Lake County Discovery Museum, is nearby and gives the area open green space.
Lake houses and docks
Sloped lots and steps to the water make carry distance important. Lightweight chairs are easier to place.
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.
Graduation open houses
Backyard tents are the standard. Reserve early for late May and June.

Concessions here: Halls may limit open food stations or require them in the kitchen area; ask before you plan a cotton candy station.
Lakewood Forest Preserve area
Forest preserve sites require permits and follow district rules. Contact Lake County Forest Preserves first.
Concessions here: Parks without power need a generator for concession machines, and some do not allow food stands without approval.
