Celebrating in Will County
The Forest Preserve District of Will County shapes outdoor celebration. Plum Creek, Hickory Creek and Messenger Woods offer settings for gatherings, and the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie near Wilmington is one of the region's most open landscapes. The I&M Canal corridor runs through Lockport and Channahon, and historic downtowns like Frankfort and Lockport are popular for weddings and festivals. Church lawns in the older river towns and big backyards in Homer Glen and Plainfield handle much of the rest, with tents going up every graduation weekend.
Frankfort, Lockport and Joliet have downtown squares and canal-side spaces that host weddings and festivals with tight parking.
