We're once again joining with the Ravinia Festival to offer the Words and Music Program in 2022. This program allows anyone with a valid Chicago Public Library card access to free lawn admission tickets to 18 classical music concerts this summer at Ravinia. Additionally, with the ticket you will be able to ride the Metra’s Union Pacific North Line to Ravinia for free.
Visit any CPL location to pick up tickets. If you're an adult CPL cardholder, you can pick up a maximum of two Words and Music lawn passes per concert and a total of four passes per day. Tickets may not be reserved in advance.
