All daily programmes for Ashara Mubaraka 1448 H will be held at Masjid Anjuman-e-Saifee Chicago in Willowbrook, IL — roughly 30 minutes by car from O’Hare and 20 minutes from Midway, served by both major Chicago airports.
This page covers the venue address, getting in from each airport, and ground-transport guidance for mehmaans driving or using rideshare.
The masjid property consists of the Main Masjid and the Madrasa, with on-site parking at the front and additional outdoor space to the west. Neighbour-property parking arrangements are being finalised and will be listed here once confirmed.
Primary prayer hall and the site of all Waaz Mubarak and majaalis programmes during the ten days. Wheelchair-accessible entrance; separate seating for women and men.
Adjoining educational building used by the jamaat for classes and gatherings. Provides additional space during high-attendance programmes.
Main parking lot at the front of the property, off Kingery Hwy. Fills up early during peak programmes — volunteers will direct you to additional parking as needed.
Open outdoor space to the west of the masjid, typically used for overflow parking. During the relay it may also serve as overflow gathering space and additional capacity as needed.
The Chicago Jamaat is arranging additional parking with neighbours for high-attendance days. Details — lot locations, hours, and any shuttle service — will be posted here as they are confirmed.
Chicago is served by O’Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW). Midway is closer to Willowbrook and usually quicker on rideshare, but ORD has many more international and direct flights.
10000 W O’Hare Ave, Chicago, IL 60666
Best option for international arrivals and direct flights from most US cities. Plan extra time during morning and evening rush. Drive south on I-294, then west on I-55 to Route 83 (Kingery Hwy).
5700 S Cicero Ave, Chicago, IL 60638
Closer and usually quicker to the masjid. Smaller airport, mainly served by Southwest. Take I-55 south to Route 83 (Kingery Hwy) — a straight shot most of the way.
Rideshare fares are approximate — actual prices vary with time of day and demand. Allow extra time during Chicago rush (7 – 9 AM, 4 – 7 PM).
Take I-55 to Exit 274 (Kingery Hwy / Route 83 / La Grange Rd), head south on Route 83. The masjid is on the west side of Kingery Hwy, approximately one mile south of I-55.
On-site parking is available at the masjid. During high-attendance majaalis, please follow volunteer directions for overflow parking. Plan to arrive 15–20 minutes early to find a spot during peak times.
Mehmaans flying in are encouraged to arrive a day before the start of Ashara. Plan flights to land before 7 PM Central if possible — check-in at hotels and host families is easier in daylight.
Both airports have clearly marked rideshare pickup areas. At ORD, use the multi-modal facility (MMF). At MDW, follow signs to the upper-level rideshare pickup curb.
For families and groups of four or more, an UberXL / Lyft XL is usually more economical than two cars. Coordinate with travel-mates landing on similar flights.
