MacArthur Park is set to become a hot spot for live entertainment once again this summer with the return of the Levitt Pavilion Los Angeles musical series.
Now in its 16th year, the free series of music includes 32 weekend concerts in the northwest corner of the 140 year-old park nestled in this Westlake neighborhood.
“We’re excited to uplift and reflect the diversity of Los Angeles and all the various cultures that call L.A. home,” said Allegra Padilla, executive director of Levitt LA.
The series will highlight several genres of music from cumbia and salsa to rock and jazz and hip-hop and soul and will take place at 7-10 p.m. on Fridays-Saturdays and 5-8 p.m. Sundays starting June 10 through Sept. 3 (some hours may vary).
Here is the full lineup for the free summer concert series. MacArthur Park is located at 2230 W. 6th St., Los Angeles. For more information, go to levittlosangeles.org.
