Boba Truck Catering in Skokie, IL
Skokie is one of the most culturally vibrant communities on Chicago’s North Shore — 27% Asian, deeply international, and home to some of the area’s most beloved community events. Hello Boba Truck fits right in. Whether you’re planning a company appreciation lunch near Westfield Old Orchard, a school fundraiser across one of Skokie’s four school districts, or a vendor booth at the Festival of Cultures, we bring the full bubble tea experience directly to your event
Boba Catering Services We Bring to Skokie
Every Skokie event is different, so we offer two catering formats — choose the one that fits your space and crowd
Mobile Boba Truck — Festivals, Outdoor Events & Parking Lots
Our mobile boba truck rolls directly to your location — parking lot, festival grounds, outdoor plaza, or school blacktop. A skilled barista crew handles every order on-site: shaking, blending, and building drinks to order in real time. Guests choose from classic milk teas, fruit teas, and matcha lattes, all made with real ingredients and premium tapioca pearls.
The truck shines at Skokie’s outdoor events: the Festival of Cultures at the Village Hall, Backlot Bash over Labor Day weekend, Wednesdays on the Green summer concert series, and Fourth of July celebrations. If people are gathering outside in Skokie, Hello Boba Truck belongs there
Indoor Boba Bar — Offices, Banquet Halls & Private Venues
For indoor events at a corporate office, banquet hall, or private venue, our indoor boba bar sets up quickly and cleanly. Two baristas staff the station for the full duration of your event, keeping lines short and drink quality consistent. We supply everything — equipment, premium ingredients, branded cups, napkins, and branded cup sleeves if requested. You provide the space.
This format is popular for office holiday parties, employee appreciation events, and milestone celebrations at venues near the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts or Westfield Old Orchard
Corporate Event Catering in Skokie
Skokie hosts a thriving business community with a long history as a corporate hub — at its peak, the village was home to more than 400 industrial and commercial companies. Today, major employers like NorthShore University HealthSystem, Peapod, KaufmanHall, and LanzaTech anchor the local economy. The Skokie Chamber of Commerce represents thousands of businesses across the village, making Skokie one of the North Shore’s most active markets for corporate events and employee catering.
Hello Boba Truck makes it easy to give your team something genuinely different. Every drink is made to order, guests pick their flavor and toppings, and with our custom digital display you can show your company branding throughout the event. It’s more memorable than a catered lunch — and it photographs well, which means more organic social posts from your team.
Indoor boba bar pricing: $8.95 per drink, $500 setup fee (includes two baristas, all equipment, and setup/breakdown). No gratuity, no parking fees, no hidden charges of any kind
School Fundraisers Across Skokie's School Districts
Skokie is served by four school districts — District 68, District 69 (Skokie-Morton Grove), District 73.5, and Evanston-Skokie District 65. That means dozens of elementary and middle schools, each with their own PTA, booster club, and fundraising calendar.
Our fundraiser model is simple: Hello Boba Truck comes to your school and serves drinks during lunch, after school, or at a school event. We donate a percentage of gross sales directly back to your organization. There’s no upfront cost, no minimum order, and no paperwork maze. Students get excited about it days in advance, turnout is consistently high, and parents share photos. It runs itself.
We’re WBE and MBE certified, which matters for districts with supplier diversity commitments. Dates fill up fast — especially in the spring — so reach out early to lock in your school’s slot
Boba Truck at Skokie's Cultural Festivals & Community Events
Skokie’s event calendar is a natural fit for Hello Boba Truck. The annual Festival of Cultures is one of the North Shore’s most anticipated multicultural celebrations, drawing families and food lovers from across the region every May. Backlot Bash over Labor Day weekend packs three days with live music, carnival rides, and a bustling food and beverage scene. The Skokie Farmers Market has been running for 25+ years, and Wednesdays on the Green keeps the summer social calendar full with free live music. Stay current with everything happening in the village on the Skokie Park District events calendar.
For official village announcements, event permits, and community programming details, the Village of Skokie website is the most reliable source for organizers and vendors planning their event lineup.
If you’re an event organizer, festival coordinator, or community group looking to add boba tea to your vendor mix, we’d love to connect. We work directly with event leads to nail down placement, volume expectations, and the best service format for your crowd
