Fiesta Ravinia

The ninth annual Fiesta Ravinia is the grand finale of the 2025 Ravinia Festival season, celebrating Mexican culture with a day of family performances and activities throughout the park included in the ticket! Food trucks sell authentic gourmet street bites, and traditional mariachi, dance, and other performance groups pop up at every corner. As the afternoon turns to evening, the music move into the Pavilion for the headline concert.

Setting the standard for regional Mexican music, La Original Banda El Limón has been a defining force since its founding in 1965. As the first Sinaloan band to revolutionize the genre with sound equipment and a dedicated vocalist, they paved the way for modern banda. Their rich history and powerful performances prove why they remain one of the most influential groups in the genre today.  

Bringing the magic of Selena to life on the Carousel Stage, the Como La Flor Band recreates the energy and excitement of the late tejano superstar’s most unforgettable performances. From her final Houston concert to the early hits that made her a legend, this tribute act delivers an authentic, high-energy experience, keeping Selena’s spirit alive with every note.

And among the afternoon performances, the Lake County student orchestra of our Reach Teach Play Sistema Ravinia program—featuring musicians from Waukegan and surrounding communities—gives a concert for the whole park to celebrate the joy of learning and making music.

Don't miss this unforgettable night of cumbia, banda, and tejano hits at Ravinia!
