On August 20, celebrate local flavor and live music at the Taste of Ravinia Farmers Market and Bluegrass concert, a special evening event on the beautiful Ravinia Festival grounds. From Farm to blanket, explore the evening farmers market, where curated vendors will offer farm-fresh produce, artisanal foods, bakery goods, desserts, ready-to-eat items and a selection of beverages to build the ideal evening picnic to accompany a night of bluegrass under the stars.
The market and evening concert begin at 4 p.m., and will include performances by Lucky Pickers, Noah’s Jam Jam Bourrée and Almond&Olive, before the Henhouse Prowlers headline the night, taking the stage around 7:30 p.m.
“The August 20 evening market will feature many products that include at least one ingredient grown according to recognized organic standards,” says Ed Kugler, market manager. “Our goal is to spotlight these curated vendors so visitors can learn about their products and visit them at other markets they participate in. It’s also a chance to meet the makers, hear their stories and discover what makes their offerings so special.”
Cost: General admission tickets for the concert are $30 and can be
purchased at Ravinia.org. For more information on the
weekly market, vendor opportunities and the August 20 evening farmers market,
