How do I get to Ravinia Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Ravinia Festival. The nearest major airport is ORD, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
The stop operates evenings from early June through late September (18 trains/9 each way weekdays, 22 trains weekends during the 2025 season per Metra), with weekend service starting mid-morning. Off-season (Fall/Spring Series), trains instead stop at the year-round 'Braeside' station, about a quarter-mile walk from the South Gate.
Book / infoBy bus & public transit
No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
Taxi & rideshare
For attendees who'd rather not route through downtown, rideshare/taxi direct from ORD to Ravinia via I-294 is the practical option (~25 miles). At the venue end, Ravinia designates specific rideshare drop-off/pickup points -- the West Parking Lot (201 Ravinia Park Rd), Braeside Train Station, or Ravinia Train Station -- and explicitly prohibits drop-offs/pickups on the surrounding residential public streets, with Highland Park Police enforcing fines.
Book / infoTaxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
On site parking available. Cost $35 for most non-classical/pop events (including CSO and guest-orchestra dates); $15 for most classical CSO/guest-orchestra concerts and Carousel Stage events; free for classical chamber music, Kids Concerts, and dance events. Larger vehicles (buses, limos, Sprinter vans) are $90 with advance Box Office confirmation required. No online prepayment platform exists -- payment is taken at the lot, card/cashless preferred, exact cash accepted. Primary lot is the West Parking Lot (201 Ravinia Park Rd); it can fill within an hour of opening on popular nights, after which guests are redirected to Highland Park's downtown Metra-station lots/structure, with a free Park & Ride shuttle bus running for select Hunter Pavilion shows only (waits can exceed an hour at peak times, per the official page).

Airbnb & private camping
No Ravinia-specific surge-pricing report is available. Ravinia runs a whole summer season of nightly-changing shows (not a single peak weekend the way a destination festival is), so demand is spread across the season rather than concentrated on one date, a materially different pricing pattern than a typical multi-day camping festival, and worth noting as such rather than assuming a single festival-weekend spike.
