New Dining Options \u2013 The BMO Club<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opening this season is the new BMO Club, which will bring quick eats and expansive beverage service to the rooftop of Ravinia\u2019s new building. In addition to bar seating, a drink rail around the perimeter of the new space will be connected by an observation bridge to Ravinia\u2019s Dining Pavilion.<\/p>\n

Offerings include craft beer, upscale wines, and signature drinks, and small-plate options with a focus on farm-to-table and other locally sourced foods. Try their fresh baked goods, fava bean and ricotta dip, and the North Woods charcuterie, a selection of local jerkies and elk sticks with mustard.<\/p>\n

How to Get Your Tickets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once again, ticket sales will be split up over two days. To reduce customer wait times, May, June, and July concerts will go on sale on at 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 7, and August and September concerts will go on sale at 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 8, exclusively online at Ravinia<\/a>. It is recommended that you create a myRavinia account before May 7.<\/p>\n

The season closes on Sept. 15 with the fourth annual Fiesta Ravinia, a daylong family festival of Mexican culture and arts in celebration of Mexican Independence Day.<\/p>\n
