Skip the Edens and the Parking, Arrive at the Ravinia Lawn in Style
Ravinia Festival has anchored summer on the North Shore since 1904, making it the oldest outdoor music festival in the United States. For music lovers across Chicagoland, the trip north to Highland Park is a ritual as important as the performance itself. We handle the Edens Expressway, the festival parking search, and the post-show exit so your group focuses on the music, the picnic, and the summer evening, not the commute.
From Your Driveway to the Ravinia Lawn
Pickup from every corner of Chicagoland
The moment your group boards, the Ravinia evening begins. Our vehicles have the cargo space to handle a full picnic setup, coolers, chairs, and blankets. Our chauffeurs know the Edens Expressway routing, the Highland Park drop-off lanes, and which exit routes clear first after a sold-out CSO night. Whether you are starting from the western suburbs, the South Side, or downtown Chicago, we have run the North Shore route many times. You arrive at the lawn relaxed, picnic ready, and in time for a great spot.
No matter your group size, we have a vehicle for your Ravinia evening. Call us and we will match you to the right one.

The Ravinia Experience, Start to Finish
A Ravinia evening is a full North Shore story. The festival grounds, the Highland Park neighborhood, and the summer culture of the Chicago lakefront all contribute to one of the great live music experiences in the country.
Ravinia Festival, the North Shore, and a Century of Summer Music
Ravinia Festival has been the cultural centerpiece of the North Shore since 1904, making it the oldest outdoor music festival in the United States. The Martin Theatre, the Bennett Gordon Hall, and the iconic lawn combine to create an experience unlike any other summer venue in the country. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has performed here every summer for more than a century, drawing audiences from across the region for evenings that blend world-class music with the quiet beauty of a wooded Highland Park park.
The lawn culture at Ravinia is a tradition unto itself. Families and groups arrive hours before the first note with elaborate picnic spreads, wine, and fine food, spreading blankets across the grass as the sun goes down over the pavilion. The experience is as much about the picnic and the company as it is about the performance on stage. A chauffeured vehicle means your group arrives ready to enjoy all of it, with someone else handling the cooler, the parking, and the drive home.
Highland Park and the North Shore communities surrounding Ravinia offer some of the most distinctive dining and shopping in the Chicago area. Many of our Ravinia clients build a dinner stop at a North Shore restaurant into the evening before the show, turning a concert into a full summer night. Our chauffeurs time the itinerary so your group is on the lawn with time to settle in before the first note.

Why Chicagoland Groups Choose a Party Bus for Ravinia
Getting to Ravinia in your own car means fighting the Edens, circling for parking in a lot that fills hours before the show, and carrying your entire picnic setup from wherever you end up parked. A party bus solves every one of those problems before you leave your driveway.
Four Reasons It Works Better Than Driving
-
✓
Nobody has to drive back on the Edens
The post-show Edens Expressway traffic after a sold-out CSO night is the reason most people wish they had booked a ride. Your group celebrates freely, and we handle every mile.
-
✓
Skip the festival parking search
Ravinia parking fills early and the walk from distant lots to the lawn is longer than it looks on a summer night. We drop your group close and pick up from a staged location after the show.
-
✓
Picnic setup arrives intact
Our vehicles have the cargo space to handle a full Ravinia picnic without anyone sitting on the cooler. Everything loads at your door and arrives on the lawn ready to spread out.
-
✓
Post-show pickup is already arranged
No rideshare wait in a Highland Park lot after the encore. Your chauffeur stages and monitors the concert end time so your group is moving while others are still packing up their blankets.
Planning Your Ravinia Evening
Ravinia evenings reward the groups who show up with a plan. The North Shore dining scene in Highland Park, Glencoe, and Northbrook offers excellent options for a pre-show dinner, and many of our clients build a restaurant stop into the itinerary before heading to the festival grounds. Our chauffeurs know the area and time the dinner stop so the group arrives at the lawn with room to find a great spot before the performance begins.
A Ravinia evening with us typically looks like this: pickup at your door anywhere in Chicagoland, a pre-show North Shore dinner stop if your group wants it, arrival at the Ravinia grounds, the concert itself, and then a relaxed ride home while your group settles in after a full summer evening. The schedule is built around your plans, including any post-show stops your group decides to add.
We serve groups from every corner of Chicagoland for Ravinia transportation: Naperville, Aurora, Wheaton, Downers Grove, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, Orland Park, Tinley Park, New Lenox, Joliet, and every neighborhood in between. CSO season subscribers and multi-show summer groups book us for the entire Ravinia season.

Six Things That Happen Before You Reach the Ravinia Lawn

We confirm your Ravinia evening details
Show time, pickup route, group size, picnic setup
The day before your show, our team reviews your pickup address, timing, group size, and picnic gear. We confirm your show time and build the departure window around it, including buffer for the Edens Expressway.
Your vehicle is prepared and the route is loaded
Highland Park drop-off and post-show staging pre-planned
The assigned vehicle is detailed, inspected, and cargo-ready before your pickup. Your chauffeur pre-loads the Edens routing and the Ravinia drop-off and post-show staging point for your group.
Your chauffeur arrives early
10 to 15 minutes ahead of your departure time
Standard is 10 to 15 minutes before your scheduled departure. Your chauffeur is there when your group is still loading the cooler and the blankets, not the other way around.
The ride runs on your schedule
Dinner stop, the concert, post-show. Your call.

Post-show pickup, everyone home safe
Pre-staged away from the worst Ravinia exit congestion
After the final note, your chauffeur is at the pre-arranged meeting point away from the post-show crowd. Your group is rolling south while others are still loading their cars in the Highland Park lots.
