What to expect from a performance at The Pavilion at Ravinia
Attending a performance at The Pavilion at Ravinia in Highland Park, Illinois, is more than just a musical event – it’s an experience you’ll cherish forever. The Pavilion combines world-class artistry, natural beauty, and a warm community atmosphere. As the centerpiece of the renowned Ravinia Festival, the Pavilion has become a treasured destination for music lovers seeking a magical evening under the stars.
Guests arriving at Ravinia Park are immediately struck by its serene and picturesque landscape. Spanning 36 acres, the park is an oasis with manicured lawns, towering trees, and winding paths. As dusk approaches, the atmosphere becomes magical, with soft lighting illuminating the grounds and the distant hum of excited conversations filling the air.
The Pavilion itself is an architectural gem, designed to blend seamlessly with the natural environment. Its open-air structure offers covered seating for 3,200 guests, while the lawn area is designed to accommodate thousands more. Whether you choose a seat under the Pavilion roof or on the grass, the area ensures an intimate connection to the music and the environment.
For many, the experience begins long before the music starts. Arriving early is a tradition for Ravinia guests, especially those opting for lawn seating. The lawn area transforms into a lively, communal gathering space where people lay out blankets, set up folding chairs, and unpack elaborate picnics.
Picnicking is a quintessential part of the Ravinia experience. Patrons bring everything from simple sandwiches and fruit to gourmet spreads complete with wine, candles, and decorative tableware. The park’s relaxed policies on outside food and beverages make it easy for visitors to create their ideal pre-show meal. For those who prefer to travel light, The Pavilion at Ravinia offers a variety of on-site dining options, including food kiosks, a sit-down restaurant, and bars serving craft cocktails and local wines.
All summer performances are announced in March and will go on public sale in April. This means if you’re looking to book a show in June or beyond, you will need to set a reminder to book your tickets in advance.
