Dining in the Park

Take in the beauty of an outdoor classical concert while enjoying a delicious meal and beverage. You can picnic in the park under the stars or purchase refreshments and food from Park concessions. Visit our map of recommended attractions!

Picnicking on the Great Lawn has become a summertime tradition for many of the Festival's patrons.

Pack a Picnic

Top off your time at the Grant Park Music Festival with a tasty meal and a glass of wine!  Food and drink, including alcohol, are welcome anywhere within the Jay Pritzker Pavilion during Grant Park Music Festival concerts. If you are sitting in the Seating Bowl though please make sure your picnic baskets, coolers or whatever-else can fit under your seats.  And please be considerate of your neighbors while eating and drinking during performances. 

Visit our map of recommended attractions and restaurants to discover new places where you can get all the ingredients to create the perfect picnic.

Park Concessions

Refreshments and food are available for purchase for evening concerts from the concession tent located to the east of the Jay Pritzker Pavilion. Alcohol sales in the Millennium Park end once the concert has finished.
