Ravinia Festival®, North America's oldest music festival, stands today as its most musically diverse, presenting a large variety of different events throughout the summer. Concerts run the gamut from Yo-Yo Ma to John Legend to the annual summer residency of the nation's finest orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The 36-acre park is nestled in a gently wooded area that makes it an enchanting place to experience music. Guests can bring their own picnics or eat at one of the restaurants.
