Ravinia District Food Truck Thursdays Country Theme Night

Food Truck Thursdays in the Ravinia District in the City of Highland Park will feature a special Country theme night on July 20, from 4:30-8:30 PM.  Attendees are invited to come out dressed in their cowboy boots and cowboy hats to dance with the entire family to live country music by bands, Jeanie B (4:30-5:45 PM) and Billingsley & Earp (6-8:30 PM). 

Participating businesses throughout the Ravinia District will be giving out Cowboy Boot coloring sheets the week prior to July 20 for children to color and bring to the theme night booth across from the music area in exchange for a temporary country themed tattoo. Prizes will be awarded for the best coloring sheets.

Don’t miss the opportunity to come out dressed in your best country outfit to create memorable photos in the on-site selfie station that will be filled with country-themed props! Check out the food trucks along Dean Avenue for special country-themed menu items. 

Food Truck Thursdays are a summer staple within the community and will run through September 21, 2023. Alfresco diners will enjoy various food offerings and drinks from more than a dozen rotating food trucks every week on Dean Avenue. Guests can also enjoy beer, wine and specialty cocktail selections from Ravinia District restaurants Abigail's American Bistro and Ravinia Brewing Company.  

Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs or dine at one of the many picnic benches in Jens Jensen Park while enjoying live music (weather permitting) from 4:30-8:30 PM (June-August) and 4:30-8 PM (September). The eclectic 2023 musical lineup includes a robust variety of genres as well as two additional theme nights for all-ages fun.  Save the date for Grateful Dead Night on August 17.
