'Ravinia stands in loving support of our Highland Park community. We wish comfort and peace to the victims, their families, and all those affected, and look forward to gathering together again soon.'
Following the deadly July 4th mass shooting in Highland Park, Ravinia Festival is canceling or postponing all of its scheduled concerts and events through Sunday,"out of deep respect for our community."
"Ravinia stands in loving support of our Highland Park community.
"This decision was made after careful consideration and in close consultation with many stakeholders, including neighbors, public officials, artists, and patrons. Our shared hope is that the reduced activity-both within the park and in the neighborhoods surrounding Ravinia-will give the community the space and quiet to reflect and heal," the festival said. Seven people were killed and at least 38 were wounded in Monday's mass shooting in Highland Park.
The city of Highland Park and several neighboring suburbs canceled most July 4th festivities after the shooting, and Highland Park also has canceled several community events through July 16, including Food Truck Thursdays, Takeout Tuesday at The Lot, and World Music Fest at The Lot.
