Celebrating in West Town
Where West Town hosts use concessions
West Town sits west of the North Branch of the Chicago River, and it holds a lot of the city's evolving story. Former factories and industrial buildings along Chicago Avenue and the river now host loft weddings, corporate parties and galas, while the residential grid features greystones, two-flats and newer condos. The Polish Triangle at Division, Milwaukee and Ashland is a historic meeting point.
Industrial lofts and converted warehouses
Large open spaces along the river and Chicago Avenue host weddings, galas and corporate events.
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.
Rooftops and condo party rooms
Newer buildings offer skyline decks, with elevator and rule reservations to plan around.
Concessions here: Wind makes cotton candy nearly impossible on rooftops; popcorn and slushie machines work better.
Greystone and two-flat backyards
Small city yards suit showers, birthdays and cookouts.
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.
Eckhart Park and small park spaces
