Ravinia- 2014

As the calendar makes its move towards Memorial Day, 2014, our thoughts turn to the upcoming”  Season Of Stars – Summer of Love” at the Historic Ravinia Festival in Highland Park.  While Ravinia itself has been around for many years, it was only back in 1989 that the Ravinia Associates Board first convened and since that year, the shows and talent have become world renowned.

Most of the Pavilion seats have been reduced to make the pleasure of attending Ravinia more affordable and many of the lawn seats are priced at only $10 ( less than a movie ticket), There are a great many concerts:
