It’s time to party in the park: Ravinia’s back!
The trees are in bloom, the grass is green and the flowers are up. And the weather is bound to get warm some day soon. All these signs of summer point toward one destination — the Ravinia Festival.
Of special note is the celebration of the life and legacy of our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, plus the usual pop shows from the Temptations, Blondie, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, Carrie Underwood and more. So sit back and enjoy North America’s oldest music festival, right in Chicago’s backyard.

The Land of Lincoln celebrating yet again its favorite son? (No, not Barack Obama, yet.) Surely the 16th president isn’t short on tributes around these parts, even in years unlike this one, which marks the bicentennial of his birth.
Zoom along I-90 and see a theme park of billboards bearing Abe’s famously blank expression, or day-trip to towns such as Galesburg or Springfield where museum-like shrines still serve the public daily.
