For a quick bite, the Ravinia Market offers grab-and-go food and drinks as well as hot-food stations and ice cream chests. The Park View and Lawn Bar in the Dining Pavilion offer seated dining both indoors and outdoors, and at many performances the Freehling Room in the Harza Building is also open to eligible Ravinia donors. The reimagined Tree Top Lounge features signature cocktails and other curated beverages across the summer.
Additionally, concession carts throughout the park provide a variety of options, including snacks and a selection of premium ready-to-drink cocktails, spiked seltzers, wine, and craft beers.
Ravinia is becoming a cashless venue and encourages all guests to bring credit/debit cards or other cashless forms of payment. Cash will not be accepted at The Festival Shop, Wintrust Chair & Table Rental, Dining Pavilion restaurants, or concessions and bars.
Indoor and outdoor seating is available at the Park View and Lawn Bar restaurants and the Tree Top Lounge in the Dining Pavilion, as well as at the Freehling Room in the Harza Building for eligible Ravinia donors. Each restaurant or bar has a covered outdoor patio for open-air service.
