The annual Fiesta Ravinia is back to close the 2024 summer season with a daylong celebration of Mexican culture. Family performances and activities are available throughout the park, and Julieta Venegas and La Santa Cecilia make Ravinia debuts as featured guest artists at the Pavilion.
Mexican-American singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas plays 17 instruments – including guitar, accordion, and keyboard – and is known for her deeply personal takes on Mexican rock, indie, and pop music. She has won eight Latin Grammy Awards, seven MTV Awards, and two Billboard Music Awards. Hits like "Me Voy" and "Sería Feliz" are audience favorites in the Americas and around the world.
La Santa Cecilia is a band that exemplifies a modern-day hybrid of Latin culture, rock, and world music. The group draws inspiration from all over the world, utilizing Pan-American rhythms including cumbia, bossa-nova, rumba, bolero, tango, jazz and klezmer music. Their first studio album, Treinta Días, won a Grammy for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album.
