We attended the Summer Dean, and Dale Watson concert on 7/17, and this was our first event at Levitt Pavilion. All I can say is the City of Arlington did a great job in the design, location, and creating a great atmosphere. Plenty of free parking near Levitt, and thank goodness for inside, air conditioned restrooms. Bring your chairs, a small cooler, and take a seat on the big lawn, or find a seat around the lawn. Their are food vendors stationed real close the lawn, and you have a few decent options, including a vendor that offers beer and wine. Come out and enjoy some music, some food, and meet some new friends. We will be coming back. read more

It was my nieces first concert so we made great memories! They had concessions with plenty of food , drinks and adult beverages!! We had so much fun and can't wait to see another show at the Levitt!! read more

First time here... a friend recommended that I stop in. Live music series you can look up on their website. I was unsure about parking and what to bring so let me help you out: the actual stage area is tapped off. So park as close as you can! Bring your outside chairs/ blankets and a cooler with snacks! The seating is on a grassy area ... casual and comfy dress. You sit where you want... close to others or far enough away! It's nice and it's a great way to be around people after working from home all week! If I had a significant other... it would be a cute Friday night date idea. read more

An outdoor venue for live shows on the lawn in the heart of downtown Arlington and the UTA campus, the Levitt provides several opportunities for free concerts to connect the community. A recent show featured an outstanding local band (if you're local and haven't seen the Brad Thompson Band, you definitely should!). On event nights there are food and drink vendors. For the free concert series, bring your own chairs, blankets, and coolers. For ticketed events, chairs are provided and coolers are off limits so you're traveling lighter. Nearby amenities are Inclusion Coffee and Ann's Natural Market when you need to find some healthy snacks or bug spray before the show. There are also a number of good local places where you can grab a meal within walking distance. A great backyard atmosphere to bring families and friend groups to enjoy music in the shadow of City Hall. read more

Not quite alot of shade on a sunny day - but I love finding new history and art whenever I'm traveling. Free parking (I think but my dad was in the vehicle) but of course always double check. read more

For the love of god have the Orkin man come out, I have never seen so many roaches. I am terrified of roaches and they were literally everywhere. I was standing in the best lit place and could see them in every direction. Made my husband look over all of our stuff with a flashlight before putting it in the car bc they were that bad. read more

When I have long left the halls of UTA, and potentially Arlington, this place along with a few others will always make me recall my belated college expedition so fondly. I will remember so many Saturday nights with a free concert (I think I have seen Walt Wilkins here 3x, among others), a Miller Lite bought from the kind young ladies at the J. Gills booth, and talking to strangers. Tons of pettable dogs, and getting back to my apartment after all of it, just in time for the SNL weekend update. One thing that makes Arlington so unique and truly special is the Levitt. It has a way of making a big community feel so tangible. It has been a staple for free entertainment for me since I arrived in 2014, and I am so grateful. So grab your lawn chair and a cooler (no glass, I believe) and make your way to a free concert under the stars. Even if it is the worst musician they have featured, you will likely have a great time. read more

A great venue, a true gift to the citizens of Arlington and the surrounding communities. Thanks to the Levitt Foundation, Downtown Arlington, Baylor Orthopedic, and the individual event sponsors. We're here tonight for The Drifters. We already have our tickets for the single fund raiser this year, The Bare Naked Ladies. A tremendous schedule this season, their 10th anniversary; they've brought back many of the fan favorites from prior years. read more

We came here for their Friday night concert series. It was a gorgeous night and even though we got their a bit late, we were able to find street parking less than a block away. The website says there is parking in some parking structures nearby, but we saw that those spots are all reserved. They started the show late so we did not miss a thing and were able to get a decent lawn spot. The best part is that you are allowed to bring your own food and beverages (adult beverage too, that's what makes this a 5 star review!) and dogs are allowed as well, We brought blankets and chairs and there was even a little room to dance around our spot. People tend to leave early and so even ore space opens up. There are marketing booths set up and UTA students doing giveaways. We will be attending more shows here for sure! read more

Great place to be! The lawn is so nice the ensue is close intimate yet roomy to bring your dog set or up a table have cheese wine or sit on a blanket. Being a chair room or snack! Food is usually available by some vendor! The new big screen is great when it's used for live broadcast! The city does great bringing good shows! They do bring in good shows deep blue b-52's read more

I like Levitt Pavilion because Arlington is seen as more of a "sports" city and doesn't have very many fine arts venues. They have outdoor concerts during the summer and fall only. They are also free! I understand that winter is too chilly, but I think it'd be nice if they started having concerts in the spring as well. The venue isn't very large but it still fits a decent amount of people and it's in an open area in downtown Arlington so even if you don't sit on the grass, you'll still probably hear/see the concert. They also have food & drink trucks set up during the concerts. Bring chairs to sit in or a blanket if you plan on watching from the grass. You may bring your own food and drink as well and make it a picnic! read more

They've got lots of fun stuff happening here year 'round - Levitt is a centerpiece for Arlington's big seasonal festivals like the Christmas lights parade and the 4th of the July festival, but it also hosts a free summer concert series, shows movies on the large outdoor movie screen, and periodically hosts food trucks. They book a great variety of artists, which is great - everything from classical to jazz, to rock/pop, and there's a great range of local, regional, and national acts. The stage is large and flexible, making it great for all different kinds of musical groups, but the seating is 100% uncovered, so if there's any chance of rain at all you may want to bring a rain jacket and a chair. Also, the viewing area is entirely grassy hillside - you can make a seat out of the raised planters and concrete steps around the edges, but those fill up pretty quickly for the popular shows, so if you have a problem with grass, you may want to at least bring a blanket. The only real drawbacks are parking and acoustics. The parking is tricky since it's downtown - there isn't much dedicated parking, and what little there is is frequently closed down for larger events. Granted, there's plenty of free street parking available in the area, but you should plan to walk a few blocks unless you get lucky. As for the acoustics, the mix is somewhat inconsistent, which is probably partly due to bands bringing in their own equipment and partly due to the outdoor conditions, but it can make the live performance experience a little hit-and-miss. Overall, though, it's a great outdoor venue and a lovely way to spend an evening or afternoon enjoying the most agreeable weather of the year while getting a healthy dose of culture. read more

Levitt Pavillion - Food Truck Friday! - Performing Arts Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Arlington is so lucky to have the Levitt! They have free concerts during the summer and the fall with free movie nights twice a month. There isn't a better value around! You can also bring your own food and drinks. They have vendors for food like J Gilligan's but you are not limited to only their selection. Don't forget your lawn chairs or blankets to sit on as main part is all grass. The concerts have gotten so big recently that they shut down the streets around the venue and you can sit in them. The music line up comes from all varieties with pretty big names playing the two concerts each year that have paid tickets (all in support of the acts that play the rest of the season). Stop by and enjoy this Arlington gem! read more

Free music under the stars! The Levitt might be the best thing to do in Arlington. Pack a cooler and lounge on their lawn while enjoying some live music up close and personal. It's really a shame their concert window is so small, though. I wish they had an extended Spring concert schedule! Nevertheless, Levitt Pavilion books a wide variety of musical acts druing the summer. Some of my favorites include Old 97s, Sarah Jaffe, Charlie Robison, Jamestown Revival, Ruthie Foster, Quebe Sisters & The Trishas. Except on July 4, I've never found parking to be an issue. (We always park on the back side of City Hall.) If you don't want to fool with bringing your own cooler, there are always food and drink vendors at the ready. Also, there's a handful of decent restaurants in the downtown area including Mellow Mushroom, Babe's, Twisted Root & Old School Pizza & Suds. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I'll say it again-I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I was here on Sunday night . The show was Amazing - as far as I am concerned there is no better way to spend an evening than at Levitt Pavillon listening to music under the stars..for Free! Yep, I said it Free! I've been attending concerts here for years and every concert-every experience-every interaction I've had; has always been beyond awesome! I usually bring my own booze (um,I mean water/wink-wink) and snacks. On occasion, I've been known to purchase the Irish Nachos from the J Gilligan food truck-in my mind the potato is the food of life! Love me some potato's. These Irish Nachos are not your chip and dip kind... no-they are sliced potato's w/cheese, bacon, sour cream all the good for u stuff piled on! If u get the chance... try em! And most definitely if you have not visited Levitt Pavillon... Get There!! There is something for Everyone and its Free!! Go! read more

I've only been to this place a few time, I came here for an art festival once, they had booths for artist behind the pavilion and someone performing at the pavilion. The sound system is good I can tell you that because I was at the booths behind the pavilion and could still hear and make sense of the artist singings words (Sure at some places you can hear the music but making out the lyric is impossible if you are far way this is not a problem here.) I really liked the art festival my friend brought me because her church is nearby which is how she heard of it. Even though it was kind of gray and rainy out (no pouring rain just sprinkles here and there) they had a great setup to prevent soakage. Will come back for other events, I hear they have free concerts a lot. Might be a fun thing to do in the summer (just a tad to cold for me right now) read more

Cute little spot in Arlington to go relax and listen to some tunes. Had a little surprise outing planned and was taken to this spot for the summer music concert. It was nice and the crowd was pretty laid back. The artist was pretty cool as well and we both really enjoyed it. I can see them expanding and bringing more good music to Arlington. My only suggestion would be to add more food trucks. read more

LOVE THE LEVITT! I don't see how anyone could have anything bad to say about this place. Not only are the events FREE, its outdoors, you can bring your own food, lawn chairs, beverages (even adult ones), and they have a wide variety of artists and styles of music. It is located right in the heart of Downtown Arlington and has vastly increased the quality of life here! read more

Really wonderful area in Arlington. It's really nice here and a great place for city events and concerts. Really worth coming to for any event Arlington has to offer. read more

What can I say - thank you Arlington for having a meaningful downtown! Levitt is great for free concerts. Bring your own food and drinks, hang out with friends or just a great group of people and enjoy a free concert. Doesnt get much better than this! read more
