The newest "Culture Buzz" segment on MyArlingtonTV heads to the Levitt Pavilion in Downtown Arlington for a preview of this year's Summer Concert Series!
The Levitt Pavilion kicks off the Baylor Orthopedic & Spine Hospital 2016 Summer Concert Series May 27 with a three-day Downtown Arlington music festival, a new Family Movie Night and some musical heavy hitters in its free concert line-up.
Summer concerts open with the annual Downtown Arlington Center Stage Music Festival on Memorial Day weekend, May 27-29. For this year's festival, downtown restaurants who also offer live music will have artists playing throughout the day leading up to the Levitt's evening concerts. Downtown participants and their music schedules are being finalized and will be available on the Levitt website later this spring. In addition to live music, the Levitt will have a variety of food trucks in rotation during the weekend.
The Levitt's free summer concerts are Thursday through Sunday nights, May 27 through July 17. After the opening weekend festival, concerts begin at 8 p.m. until July 7, when they will start at 8:30 p.m. as Texas summer temperatures rise.
New for this summer are the Levitt's free Family Movie Night on Wednesdays June 8 through July 6. Movies suitable for all ages will be shown on the Levitt's giant video screen at 7:30 p.m. Not all of the movies have been confirmed, but Spy Kids will be the June 15 movie, and School of Rock is set for June 22. The new Family Movie Nights are made possible by a grant from Women Inspiring Philanthropy.
The Levitt's Children's Concert Series will continue this summer with performances at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesdays June 8-29. Children's Concerts include Big Bang Boom June 8, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo June 15, The Boogers June 22, and Terrance Simien and Creole for Kidz on June 29.
