Hunter Pavilion is an outdoor performance venue located within Highland Park’s Ravinia Festival grounds. Originally constructed in 1904 as a temporary structure for Chautauqua assemblies, it was rebuilt in the 1930s in a wood frame design reminiscent of a pavilion from the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. The pavilion offers lawn seating alongside covered reserved seating and is known for its intimate atmosphere compared to Ravinia’s larger Martin Theatre. It primarily hosts performances spanning jazz, blues, world music and select popular artists.
