Yes. And restaurants will be open for both inside and outside seating.

Do I need to be vaccinated?

No. But encouraged. Do I need to wear a mask?

Yes. Except for when eating and drinking

Should I drive?

You can. But Ravinia is working to add Metra service to reduce stress on neighborhood.

Will it feel like the Ravinia I know and love?

It should. With more room to breathe.
