Limo Service to Ravinia Festival
Ravinia Festival is America's oldest outdoor music festival, hosting 120+ performances every summer in Highland Park on the North Shore. The venue's residential setting means limited parking and narrow access roads that back up significantly during popular shows. Our chauffeurs know the Green Bay Road approach, the Ravinia Metra station staging area, and the Roger Williams Avenue drop-off that puts you steps from the West Gate. We stage nearby during the show and return via text coordination.
Why Book With Royal Carriage

4.9/5 from 512+ reviews
Ravinia Festival runs 120+ outdoor concerts every summer in a residential Highland Park neighborhood with limited parking, narrow access roads, and a festival policy that bans rideshare drop within 500 ft of the gates. Concert nights pack Green Bay Road and Roger Williams Avenue from 6pm onward.
Our chauffeurs drop at the West Gate on Roger Williams — the closest curb the festival permits — and stage at the Ravinia Metra lot 4 minutes south for post-encore pickup. Driver texts the pin during the second-to-last song; you walk 90 seconds and you’re rolling while the parking-lot exodus is still 20 minutes from moving.
From downtown Chicago, the Edens (I-94) drive is 35-45 minutes off-peak, 50-70 on concert nights — round-trip sedan is $190-$260, SUV $230-$310. From the Westin Itasca or O’Hare, plan 30-40 minutes each way. Lawn picnics with coolers are easy in a Sprinter or party bus; we load gear at your house and unload at the West Gate.
CSO Ravinia residency (June-August), Pavilion shows from Diana Krall to John Legend, and the Ravinia Steans Institute season fill the calendar. The Highland Park rate to a downtown hotel after the show stays flat — no late-night surge, no rideshare scramble at 11pm in a residential neighborhood.

What Our Clients Say
Thousands of Chicago travelers book with Royal Carriage for airports, weddings, and corporate travel.
“Our September wedding needed 3 vehicles — a Rolls Royce for us, a stretch limo for the bridal party, and a Sprinter shuttle for 14 guests. Every driver arrived 20 minutes early to the Drake. The coordinator handled our timeline flawlessly from ceremony through the reception at the Peninsula.”

Ravinia Limo Questions
For 4-6 guests with a picnic, the Cadillac Escalade offers luxury and trunk space for coolers and chairs. For groups of 8-14, our Mercedes Sprinter van is the top choice — captain chairs, a center aisle, and dedicated cargo space for all your picnic gear. Larger groups should consider a mini coach.
Ravinia Pickup & Dropoff Logistics
Drop-off: Gate 1 on Lake Cook Road is the official limo/livery drop. Your chauffeur drops you with your blanket + picnic basket exactly where you walk into the park — no parking-lot trudge from the remote lot.
Post-show pickup: 7,000 fans walk out at once and the Ravinia parking lots take 45+ minutes to clear. We stage on St. Johns Avenue 2 blocks east. Your chauffeur texts the pin during the encore — you stroll to a calm pickup spot while parked attendees still wait for the lot to drain.
Pre-show dinner stops: Common pattern for North Shore groups: 6pm pickup at home, 6:30pm dinner stop in Highwood or Highland Park, 7:30pm Ravinia drop, post-show pickup 10:30pm, home by 11. As-directed hourly, all included.
Pricing detail: $89 sedan round-trip Highland Park / Lake Forest / Glencoe / Winnetka. $129 SUV. $189 Sprinter (perfect for 6-pax with picnic gear). Hourly as-directed for multi-stop evenings: $99/hr sedan, $119/hr SUV.
CSO season: Chicago Symphony Orchestra residency is the most-booked stretch. Reserve 2+ weeks ahead for Saturday CSO + Friday pop concerts.
