Ravinia is the longest running and most programmatically diverse outdoor music festival in North America, welcoming about 400,000 guests to over 100 events each year. Passenger trains stop at our historic entrance during the summer, serviced by Metra’s Union Pacific North Line—a tie to our origin from a railroad company. Ravinia is the only private train stop in Illinois!

Schedule of Events

6pm: Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music Sing-Along

Ravinia is alive with The Sound of Music! Pack a picnic basket, warm up your vocal cords, and get ready to sing your heart out with Rodgers & Hammerstein’s beloved classic. Whether you know every word by heart or just love a good musical, this interactive screening is the perfect way to experience one of the most cherished films of all time.

Before the film begins, test your knowledge with movie trivia and learn how to participate throughout the screening during some of the film’s most memorable moments. Then enjoy the movie with your fellow attendees—costumed nuns, Maria look-alikes, and von Trapp children—all singing their hearts out to the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein tunes. Costumes are not obligatory but highly recommended!

Follow Julie Andrews as the free-spirited Maria, who brings music, joy, and a little mischief to the von Trapp family—led by the dashing Christopher Plummer as Captain von Trapp. From the rolling hills of Austria to the grand halls of the von Trapp estate, this unforgettable tale of love, courage, and music has enchanted audiences for generations.

So, how do you solve a problem like Maria? With song, of course! Gather your favorite people to sing about your favorite things, with musical classics like “Do-Re-Mi,” “Edelweiss,” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain.”

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or introducing the next generation to the magic of The Sound of Music, this is a night of pure joy, nostalgia, and community spirit. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind sing-along experience under the stars!
