I have been attending free concerts at the Levitt Pavilion for many years. I live in Dallas, but it's certainly worth the drive for the wonderful and talented musicians they bring to Arlington from all over the country!! I love it!!!
We love coming out to the Levitt. It is our family fun night (sometimes every weekend night!); we share some snacks and dance to great music. It also brings our community together when people of all walks of life can come experience the music together. We look forward to each Levitt season!
I attended my first Levitt Pavilion Arlington concert September 2010 and then began volunteering the summer of 2011. I have volunteered for countless concerts since 2011 and look forward to great FREE music under the stars enjoyed with my fellow volunteers, all the regular attendees and those discovering the Levitt for the very first time. Love, love, love the Levitt and all the positivity it brings to life.

I first visited the Levitt in September 2010. Was pleased to find such a gem so close to home offering free concerts for all ages. Before concert season rolled around in Summer 2011, I signed up to be a volunteer. Best decision! The staff, crew, fellow volunteers and patrons make it such a joy. It is always a pleasure to introduce people to this venue and meet attendees who are discovering it for the first time.
Best venue in Arlington, TX. Great way for families to see free music under the stars. Love it there. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

I have been coming and volunteering at this wonderful venue since its inception. The entire staff is great, the variety of music is awesome and the patrons love each and every performance. What a great place to bring family and friends to enjoy music under the stars. Bring a picnic, any drinks you care for in plastic containers and have a wonderful free evening of entertainment. If you have not visited the Levitt, you just don't know what you are missing.

I get a thrill from seeing how the crowds have swelled over the years. The atmosphere is excited and has a small town feel in the middle of our of growing population. I hear many comments how wonderful it is to have FREE music provided to our community and how much the patrons enjoy coming to the Levitt.

I can't begin to enough about the Levitt in Arlington Texas. The Joy the fun and the amazing people to unite as one amazing family Under the Stars at the Levitt Pavilion. Thank you so much for bringing the love it Levitt to our wonderful City to bring us together.
The Levitt Pavilion Arlington continues to bring and hold the community together. It is really awesome to maintain a "small town" feel in such a growing city as Arlington, and the Levitt Pavilion is the center making this happen.
Volunteering at the Levitt gets better each year. The sense of community on the patch of lawn in the middle of downtown Arlington isn't something we see much anymore. And the music keeps getting better

Having the Levitt Pavilion in Arlington is great. It not only provides a wide selection of concerts for free, but the atmosphere is very family & pet friendly. If you're an Arlington resident, you're more than likely going to run into one of your neighbors. When you frequent the Levitt pretty often. you get to know the regular Leviteers. It's really helped bring some more focus on the Arlington downtown area and the surrounding businesses.
The Levitt Pavilion is a great asset to our community. The concerts and events that are sponsored give the whole city a source for growth and people enjoying the city where we all live.

The Levitt is awesome!! Great variety of music, beautiful environment, friendly people-and all for FREE!! Thank you, Levitt, for this wonderful summer (and upcoming fall) family activity!!
My wife and I are huge music fans and have been attending concerts at the Levitt since it opened in 2008! We love the music, the picnicking on the lawn, and the sense of community you get sitting with your friends (old and new) and neighbors in downtown Arlington!
We also love that the Levitt brings us 50 FREE shows every year! Not charging for shows allows any and everybody to come out and enjoy an evening out. Where else can you bring the whole family to enjoy a great night of music with your own picnic for no charge? Nowhere else that we know of!
No matter what you have to give, the Levitt gives to you! And that is why we live the Levitt!
The Levitt Pavilion Arlington is a wonderfully run organization with a great mission. Led by a tremendously capable executive director and staff, the Levitt is loved by tens of thousands in the community more and more each year. With it's mission of fifty free concerts "under the stars" - performed by amazing artists of virtually all genres, this downtown jewel has become THE city focal and gathering point bringing together friends and families over and over again. It's simply made itself essential to the community's quality of life.

The Arlington Levitt is just a tremendous nonprofit in so many ways. It serves as the key place to bring our community together for 50+ free concerts every year - "under the stars" - in our city's center. There are a growing number of touching personal stories of how the Levitt has really helped a great cross-section of Arlington's citizens engage and enjoy something affordable and so fun night after night. Then there's the catalyst this organization - with it's downtown venue - has served to reinvigorate our central/university district. Many new restaurants and businesses have come along since the opening of the Levitt 5 years ago - which is no coincidence! The Levitt has helped put a great new face on our town's center and provided more than a small piece of our community's pride. It's extremely well-run and efficient with it's fundraising and budgeting - the money goes where it needs to go to fulfill it's mission. I believe it's no exaggeration to say that from the mayor and city manager on down to us volunteers and the thousands of loyal patrons, everyone LOVES the Levitt!
The Levitt is one of the best things about Arlington, Texas! It provides a gathering place for fellowship, fun, and great music on beautiful Texas nights. My family and friends look forward to the Levitt seasons each year and have since its inception. Arlington wouldn't be Arlington without it!
Fantastic organization that brings the community of Arlington together in a fun and safe environment. There are not many non-profits that are run as effectively as the Arlington Levitt Pavilion, especially with the consistency in outstanding programming and fiscal responsibility.
The Levitt Pavilion Arlington is truly a wonderful gift to the citizens of Arlington, TX! It doesn't matter what your economic status is, the color of your skin, or what country you are from. The free music under the stars is for everyone in our community! It is a place to leave your worries behind and listen to great music! It's a place to see old friends and make new ones! I LOVE THE LEVITT! KC

Free Music Under The Stars is what the Levitt Pavilion Arlington, Texas delivers to my community! Citizens from every economic level come together and thoroughly enjoy the music on any given concert night, and may even share a short dance or big smile together. I have seen a homeless citizen clearly enjoying a concert and close to him is a couple with a picnic of wine and cheese. We are a strong community and the Levitt Pavilion Arlington is our much beloved musical venue!
All I can say is we go to the Levitt almost every weekend when there are concerts. the music is always awesome. What is nice is to hear the artists tell the crowd how much they enjoy playing at the Levitt because the staff really takes care of them!
you cant beat this venue for a fun family oriented night of entertainment!
The Levitt is one of the best venues in the city of Arlington. Free shows, a beautiful lawn and the casual atmosphere make it a perfect place to enjoy live music. And it's FREE! It just doesn't get better than that. It's an honor to serve on the board of the Levitt Pavilion and to share this gem with folks who haven't found it yet.
Love the atmosphere and the free entertainment for families! My only wish is the shows would run year round as the summer here is pretty hot to get little ones out in. But other than that this is a great group keeping our city involved and giving families fun things to do during the summer and fall
I have volunteered for the Levitt in Arlington since the first spring season. Each year the bands are better, the crowds are bigger and I enjoy it more. I've brought friends and family there many times without disappointment - they always have a great time! I've seen families grow, marriage proposals and friendships made. The Levitt in Arlington is the BEST place to bring your family and friends for a great night of music under the stars!!!
Once again, the Levitt Pavilion Arlington has put together a wonderful season of music. I am already looking forward to the Fall 2016 season! The staff and volunteers found groups that appealed to a wide variety of people, worked hard to provide a great setting, and made all feel welcome. I'm a Levitt fan for life!

Year after year, the Levitt provides great music free to the public. My family and I have heard groups we wouldn't otherwise have been exposed to - and have discovered some new favorites! The setting is lovely, the evening weather is usually comfortable even in July, it's a good place to meet up with friends and family, it's easy to bring your own food or purchase from one of the food vendors... it's all good. It's been fun to see the crowds increase this year as more people have discovered this jewel in the heart of downtown Arlington.
What an awesome gift to the citizens around Arlington! Outdoor music concerts with artists ranging from rock to orchestra, and everywhere in between. The atmosphere is so relaxing and just fun to be there listening to artists you might not know. Always come away feeling the evening was enjoyable and relaxing!

LP is a great place to bring the family, and have some quality time together. it just gets better every year! come out next year and enjoy the entertainment. Great job by Patti and the staff to make this the place to be!
The Levitt Pavilion Arlington has become the heart of the city. The expertise and passion of the staff, crew and volunteers is clear. We all have become family. I look forward to participating in the fall.
Always well organized events. The staff is very helpful in keeping the crowds entertained and readily available for any questions, concerns and complaints that are usually resolved. Very happy with the entertainment that's been selected every year. The executive staff does an excellent job in presentation at the beginning of each show with all the how to's and dont's. And their hard work in finding sponsors for each concert is excellent.
Great organization to volunteer for. They do great work and you truly feel a part of the process. They treat you first class!
The Levitt in Arlington has a wonderful variety of music and it's all free! The music starts when the sun goes down, so it's much cooler out to enjoy . Families come out and bring their pets. The kids get up and dance! Very enjoyable!
The Levitt has amazing concerts and performances for the whole family all for FREE!! Some say the best kept secret in Arlington but not much of a secret anymore!! My husband and I will drive from Azle (45 minutes) to enjoy home town feel good venue. We LOVE IT at the Levitt!
This is the most awesome non profit I have ever been exposed too. It brings all cultures together to enjoy very high quality musicians. You can bring your own chair and cooler or purchase food and drinks at the concert. The best thing about all this is that it is totally free to the listener. I've watched it grow from the first year of 5-7 thousand people to over 100,000 and climbing. Nothing better than free music under the stars.
The Levitt Pavilion is the best outdoor music venue in Arlington. It's a great cultural experience for the entire family. You can bring your own food, drinks, chairs or a blanket and enjoy a night of music under the stars. Or just swing by and purchase your food and drinks from a variety of local vendors.
Levitt Pavilion Arlington is one of the best things going on in Arlington. We are so fortunate to have free music. Ticket prices and service charges for concerts are so expensive that even people with decent jobs can't afford them. The Levitt allows EVERYONE to enjoy a concert free. Even if they donate a few dollars, it is still so much more affordable!!! So many genres are included each season. There is music for everyone. The Levitt staff is the most professional I have ever seen work a concert or plan a concert! Patti and her staff know how to use the funds efficiently, so the dollar goes much further. Music is a healer to depression, sickness and anything else you can think of for people. Levitt Arlington is AWESOME I am so proud to have this in my city! I love going to the concerts with my own snacks and drinks!
The Levitt Pavilion is a wonderful place to enjoy all kinds of music and interact with all ages of people. The Pavilion provides a venue of entertainment that is affordable and of high quality. The Levitt Pavilion is a wonderful nonprofit in Arlington that contributes to the community in an amazing way.
Great music, 52 free concerts each year. Also programs for kids one day a week. A great opportunities for families and child care groups to experience music in a concert setting. Combining music and nature best ever.
I have reaped the rewards and enjoyed the excellent music brought to the city of Arlington for our free entertainment by The Friends of Levitt Pavilion since it began. This organization works so hard to find donors to cover the costs involved with this endeavor. This is a venue where everyone can come out and enjoy a music filled evening for FREE! 50 concerts a year! They can bring their children, pets, lawn chairs, blankets, picnic baskets, beverages of choice, etc. and have a wonderful time without spending a dime if they don't want to. There are also food, beverage, and snack items that can be purchased and it's always nice if you bring a little cash to put in the donation buckets but nothing is mandatory except that if you come you WILL have a good time. 2016 started out with an bang with the amazing band Blood, Sweat, and Tears featuring Bo Bice! I never would have believed I could see this type of class act at NO COST! Way to go Levitt Pavilion! I will see you for many years to come!
Music at the Levitt is our new family tradition since moving to Arlington. Excellent quality musicians, a great space to hang out with the family and community, and it's fantastic that it's free. I LOVE that even when times are fiscally tight for us, we can take our family of five out for an evening and live to tell the tale. This is a wonderful community resource!!
The Levitt Pavilion in Arlington is a great venue. The staff and talent they bring in are second to none. A really great place for family and friends to meet up and enjoy quality performances from a really wide range of performers.
I absolutely love the Levitt Pavilion, Arlington!!! I enjoy meeting my friends and family to listen to the many different styles of music. I love watching my grandchildren
dancing to the beat, as well as watching them Experience the circus. I also enjoy some evenings going to the Levitt alone, just listening to the music on a warm summer night. I am so thankful that the city I live in has this treasure.
This is by far the best that Arlington has to offer. In its 6th year and the groups get better. For the musicians it is a must venue to spread their name. For the guests, it is a relaxing and entertaining place for friends, family, or just the music lover. It builds a since of community, something that every city needs.
We love the Levitt!! A perfect place to meet up with friends to enjoy a variety of FREE concerts! It is a lovely park venue, a safe family environment, and provides wonderful exposure to the Arts. The Levitt has been a great addition to Arlington and has been a catalyst for much development in the downtown area. The staff and volunteers are exceptional in all ways!
My family loves the Levitt Pavilion, it's a great place to hear live music from many different genres. I have found many new artists to love and listen to because the Levitt Pavilion staff and volunteers work so diligently to bring quality entertainment to Arlington.
I have lived in Arlington for 58 years. Our downtown disappeared years ago. Now through the efforts of a great group of people Arlington now has a wonderful gathering place for families and friends to get together for an evening of great music and fellowship together. The Levitt is a wonderful example of what can happen when a community works together with the city to create good things. We are the envy of all the surrounding communities. Free is a word seldom used in todays entertainment scene. So all can come....all walks of life. The organization is VERY passionate about the events they produce.

Arlington a boom town in the 60's-70's but during that time they lost the downtown. There was no feeling of having that great downtown where you see people in the community gathering. The Levitt changed all that. It has truly been the catalyst for bringing the downtown back. It has been followed by the adddition of new restaurants and shops with more to come in the years ahead. The competition to add the Levitt was a challenge. This challenge was met by a passionate group of citizens who love Arlington. Now the Levitt is the crown jewel lead by a executive staff that shares this passion. It is so great to just sit and watch familes w/ kids, college students, senior citizens, all walking in with their picnic's and chairs out on the lawn for a beautiful evening together. Something vanishing from the cities of our land. A TRUE slice of americana!!
We love the Levitt Pavilion in Arlington as a family! We eagerly look forward to each season's new calendar and put it on our refrigerator. We often meet friends out there and talk about the concerts in other social settings. A great evening out with family and friends with great music and we always take a picnic or snacks.
The Levitt Pavilion is a very special place in Arlington, TX and offers over 50 free concerts a year. The charming outdoor venue has been the catalyst to many new ventures in the downtown area. Since its premier season in 2008, the Levitt has equally benefited the arts community and the businesses in downtown. It's a great way for people of all different walks of life to not only experience fantastic music, but also allows people the opportunity to volunteer and become more engaged in the community.
The Leviit is a wonderful gift to the city of Arlington, Texas. The number of people attending the 60 or so free concerts that this charity provides has grown by leaps and bounds in the last 4 years. People from all walks of life spread their blankets and coolers on the grass in front of the stage each weekend and kick back and enjoy the show. Before the concert begins, children are kicking balls from one side of the area to the other. This is truly a family event that provides exposure to the arts as well as enjoyment. In addition to the three weekly concerts for all ages, their is a weekly concert.
How wonderful for families to enjoy fabulous entertainment at no charge. I am proud to be part of this organization.
The Levitt is a great venue for the citizens of Arlington. Wonderful music presented free of charge under the stars in the Spring and Fall concert series. All kinds of music is performed and all kinds of folks gather to listen together on the grounds of the Levitt Pavilion. It is a very family friendly place to gather with others to enjoy live music. The nonprofit foundation is the engine that provides this wonderful venue by seeking sponsorships, donations, and volunteers to make this all happen each year. It has been a pleasure to be associated with this group and help provide music under the stars to our community.
The Arlington Levitt is a great place to meet family and friends to listen to all genres of music. This beautiful outdoor facility is located in downtown Arlington. The FREE concerts run from Memorial Day weekend to mid-July and again Labor Day Weekend through September. In addition, the entire staff at the Levitt go far beyond the duties of their job by providing a venue for various community organizations to perform at the Levitt facility.
This venue has brought thousands of people together for evenings of fun. The sense of community is present during each concert. There are new people each each night and there are also people that never miss a concert. Arlington is a better place place because of the Levitt and the music variety it brings to the community. We LOVE the Levitt!
The Levitt Pavilion, in Arlington, is an astounding nonprofit organization. It serves as a central figure in the revitalization of our downtown district. Many new restaurants and businesses have opened in the surrounding area, and most Levitt patrons visit these establishments before and after events. It also serves as a key place for our community to gather for free concerts every year, providing a diverse program of arts and culture to a wide cross-section of Arlington's 300,000+ citizens. To think, sitting under the stars, communing with neighbors, listening to beautiful music, while improving our quality of life, all on a nonprofit/volunteer budget is truly AMAZING!
This is my first year to volunteer at the Levitt Pavillion, yet it has been rewarding to see all "walks of life" people come together to be able to relax in the present of others. I witnessed young to more mature people bring what they wanted to a place where they could enjoy the various Artist and their music for an afternoon till evening. It keep growing in attendance, by the great spreading of the word, by those who has experienced the feeling of relaxation and wanting to share the experience with others. Small time feeling in a large time city!!!
I love this place. I started going about four years ago as a volunteer. I missed out on a few years because I didn't know it existed. They have such a versitile of performers on their stage. During the year they have special events take place (ie. Fourth of July, Environmental Day, Halloween, etc) Having free concerts is a blessing to the Arlington community & surrounding areas. I always look forward to see who the performers are for the new season.
The Levitt Pavilion has revitalized the downtown Arlington area. In a city of 300,000+ population, it gives community a place to gather and has provided boosted the commerce of surrounding businesses. It is an invaluable asset to our city.
absolutely wonderful place to spend evenings with friends and family.. eclectic music, nice safe environment and friendly people..
volunteer opportunities are varied..one can do as much as he has time or just a little if he chooses.. not a huge commitment and flexible hours if obstacles come up that require changes... patti and kathy make it a "family" experience to be a part of the volunteer team..and the volunteers can enjoy the entertainment just as much as the patrons of the levitt.. a wonderful, class act opportunity.
This organization has brought our community together and revitalized our downtown. The quality of music and the performances and the stage is top notch.
The Levitt Pavilion is one of the great place to listen to good music in Arlington, Texas! We look forward to Levitt season. The diversity of the performers really draws different crowds to each performance. There is a wonderful family atmosphere. It is multi-generational as well. The atmosphere is decidedly casual as we are all encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets. This is my first year volunteering but it will not be the last. I just love going there and seen all the family’s and friends getting togther and enjoy themselves.
The Levitt has done so much for the revitalization of downtown Arlington. A great place to meet and enjoy company in a relaxed wonderful environment. Truly one of the greatest things that has happened to Arlington in a while.
I was hit and miss with going there the first few years, then I got Leukemia and at 60 years old a bone marrow transplant. I made going to the Levitt top on my must go places to go to more, and since then I went to almost every event. Forget it is FREE it's wonderful, I have met so many people in the crowds that go, everyone peaceful and friendly, even the dogs. Some different people in the community come and show off their talents during most of the event for Free also, mainly encouraging children to learn things like Hoopin~, ropin~ and juggling. When the kids are not up front dancing or blowing bubbles that is. So between the bands and caring people it comes together as a very community venue. Never issues and the bands are good mix of music. So on any given night there is a favorite band for someone. Though I have learned to like a lot of different style I never really listened to before. A high 5 for all the people who make it happen.
What a incredible place, Me and my family look forward to the great music every year. The Levitt is a place that helps build community spirit. The performers are true professionals and great entertainers. I am so grateful in today economy to have a FREE season of FREE live music under the stars. Thank you.
I am so excited about this free venue. The space is accessible and casual, and the program content is too. There are many shows I've wanted to check out, but we ended up seeing an african drum ensemble and dancers that was awesome. My husband is starting to play a conventional set and this provided him with an 'artist's fieldtrip' to keep motivated. My 3 year-old had never seen such a thing, and was so excited to have an open space to 'be himself' while learning about new people and art. I'm so grateful and can't wait to go back! (no bugs and good parking!)
There are not many FREE events these days...but Levitt Pavilion Arlington provides just that. The intimate setting is a great opportunity to see old, new, and upcoming stars from around Texas and around the country..again all for FREE. How can you beat that? I thoroughly enjoyed volunteering at various events and when I didn't...I brought my chair, snacks, and had a great time...even in the sweltering Texas heat. My favority time is the fall..and I am looking forward to the wonderful acts they have secured for all to enjoy. Definitely a 'buried' treasure right in the middle of Cowboys Stadium and The Ballpark. KEEP IT UP LEVITT PAVILION ARLINTON!! I look forward to volunteering in the fall..YAY!!
I've seen some really great shows there. The only disappointing thing is how the lady in charge always makes a point to rail against people that smoke. It's one thing to have a no smoking policy but I really tire of hearing her put down smokers like they are some kind of sub human scum.
The Ballpark and the Cowboys Stadium are great venues to watch professional athletes and other entertainers perform (for a significant amount of money). Our Levitt allows folks from near and far to enjoy world-class entertainment for FREE! The Levitt brings a sense of community, friendship and belonging to our wonderful city. The Levitt has been well noted as the catalyst for the rebirth of our downtown business district. I can't think of a better or easier way to link up with family and friends to enjoy an evening of great music.
There was a time in this great country when families would pile into their Station Wagons and take in a double feature at the local Drive-in Theater. Ballgames and Bowling were regular family outings, not an indulgence that created a deficit in the family budget. The Levitt helps to fill a void that exists in our society. I urge you to support and participate in the fun at the Levitt Pavillion. Create your very own family memories.
My husband and I have greatly enjoyed the concerts at Levitt! Our favorites have been Cas Haley and Melissa Lawson. We are learning of new local bands and great singers! We bring our lawn chairs, a cooler, and just sit and relax. We've invited friends and family to join us and they always say they wish they had something like this in their town!
My name is Diana Davis and I have enjoyed multiple events at the Levitt Pavillion joined by my dear friend Dennis Barfoot and grand daughter Cheyenne Davis. It is a refreshingly relaxed outdoor facility where the young children dance and play in front of the stage, talented ladies sometimes dance while hoola hooping with glow in the dark multiple hoops and we delight in the variety of musical genres offered sitting on the lawn with either our blanket underneath us or in the chairs we bring from home. Local streets are blocked off and our local PD provides security without being intrusive. Vendors are available for food and drink however many individuals are seen eating and drinking provisions brought from home. The scene is reminesent of such gatherings common during the 1960's and 70's. Having experienced those earlier days we find these concerts cost effective (as most are free of charge), convenient (we live blocks from the location), peaceful (have never seen an altercation), pleasing and diverse (domestic and international performers), educational (we learn about countries we knew little of) and symbionic (we do add to the kitty when the hats are passed around). We have spoken with and obtained autographs/photographs with performers while purchasing wares from the band. I have only the highest praise for this endeavor and support the efforts of the Levitt whole heartedly, hope that more of this type of social interaction and educational sponsorship will become available.
Truely a wonderful venue for spending the evening under the stars. I love going with my family and friends - stretched out on the green carpet - the music is great! There are so many choices of music to listen too. I hope the Levitt Pavilion will have many, many years of providing such awesome concerts!!
The Levitt is one of the best venues in Arlington and it is free. As sonn as we get the calendar we circle all the shows we want to see. The grounds are clean and picnicing is fun. We take our dog and he loves it.
LP is just what Arlington needed! It's the perfect location and every year, it's the perfect diversity of music. So many people would not otherwise have the pleasure of hearing so many talented artists. The staff are very accessible to all the guests.
My husband and friends celebrate every year when the concert calendar is released! It is our favorite venue to see artists because of the family friendly atmosphere and overall set up for the concerts. It is such an assest for the community to come together to share music.
I've been lucky enough to see some great shows at the Levitt. Each time time i attended, the sound was very good, the artists that they select are wonderful and have a rich variety of styles. The people who are attracted to the events are wonderful. Never had a bad experience attending the Levitt. Location is nice there in old down town part of Arlington with great dining close by and on site of the events. Keep up the great work!
I have been thrilled to enjoy the wonderful programs that have been offered free of charge at the Levitt Pavillion. My family look forward attending and freely donate to help defray costs as much as we can.
A wonderful family friendly opportunity to share music and community under the stars. We have enjoyed this venue since the opening and have come to wait eagerly for each series of concerts. We gather our lawn chairs, pack drinks and snacks and head out for many different types of musical entertainment. Can hardly wait for Spring!
What a wonderful, family friendly facility....and the concerts are FREE! We started out with a picnic dinner followed by wonderful music and had a great time with our children and friends!!! Thank you, thank you Levitt Pavilion!
During concert season(s), I can not stop saying, "I LOVE the Levitt Pavilion!" Where else can you come together with your family, friends, neighbors and community to hear incredible music for free? I love enjoying the music in the outside setting, love being with my friends, love the freedom that everyone has to move to the music, the freedom and safety the children have to enjoy themselves, and the variety of music that is brought to us. I have been attending these concerts since the opening week and have been amazed and excited about the growth in attendance. This year, I noticed that the audience packed almost all of the concerts! Thank you to the Levitt Pavilion for this great gift that you have given to our city. I am looking forward to this next series of concerts!
The Levitt Pavilion has been a fantastic addition to downtown Arlington. It's a destination. My family loves the concerts. I recommend that everyone visit this wonderful place!
The Levitt Pavilion is one of the diamonds of Arlington, Texas! We look forward to Levitt season all year and even plan our activities around it! The diversity of the performers really draws different crowds to each performance. There is a wonderful family atmosphere. It is multi-generational as well. You will see babies dancing on a picnic blanket and, five feet over, a couple dancing on the grass. The atmosphere is decidedly casual as we are all encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets. You can bring your own food and drink, even alcoholic, as long as you bring nothing with glass. This is the best night out under the stars that you can find in the City! Best of all, it's free! The Levitt has opened up a cultural experience for people of all ages and all incomes.
As Seniors living on a fixed income, we thoroughly enjoy the activity of getting out and enjoying great family music at no cost. (except for the donations we give each time). The facility and the location provide a safe environment for ourseves and the many families we see there. God Bless
We work at a Day Care Center for low income families in Arlington. Every summer since the Levitt opened, we take our children for a day of fun and music. It is one of the very few activities we can take them, without costing money to parents who can't afford other activities. It's a blessing and a woderful way to give to the less fortunate, not all Arlington can afford to visit Six Flags or the stadiums. Thank you from all of us and our children!!
Levitt is the best! Great family entertainment for FREE. Fun to eat outside and listen to fun music.
Love love love the Levitt!! Such a great family place with awesome music. Everyone enjoys free music and the Levitt always delivers a great variety. Some may think it's too hot in the summer but the bands start up just about the time the sun goes down and you feel a nice cool breeze. The grounds are beautiful.

We attend concerts at the Levitt Pavillion every spring and fall. The quality of the music is the best. We take our lawn chairs and listen to a night of good music. It is fun to be introduced to different genres of music as the season goes on. It's so nice that it is all free.
Levitt Pavilion is SUCH a game changer in Arlington! It has added a wonderful VIBE to downtown and brought it BACK TO LIFE!! It is also a real blessing to me personally and professionally. I am a business owner, instructor and performer of hoop dance, and Levitt Pavilion has given me a place to come and SHARE with others. I not only entertain others while I perform in public at the various music concerts, but it also feels great to volunteer my time and talent openly, engage with the public, share what I love and do it all while supporting an amazing music venue. Many people have come to take classes after meeting me at Levitt and this means SO much to me...I am so very grateful for the wonderful work this organization does for us all, connecting us in numerous way through lively performances!! Bottom line is that all of this blends into an important EXPERIENCE, that in THIS digital age, many communities can easily let fall apart. WE NEED TO HAVE A PLACE TO CELEBRATE THE PERFORMING ARTS, such as musicians & dancers, where the public can come together for free and be LIFTED up for no other reason than to DO it...have fun, meet others, smile, laugh, move and relax. Taking a break under the stars at Levitt is a treat and WE are so fortunate to have them in our city! ~ geri mcniece aRoundJoy at The HoopShack
We are just thrilled to have the Levitt in Arlington and never miss the spectacular Fourth of July fireworks and concert. It's the best we have seen anywhere and it's also so much fun to sit out under the stars and enjoy such top-notch musical entertainment throughout the Levitt season.
Music as it should be! Outdoors, relaxing, free, with friends, food and good things to drink. Whatever the style of music, the Levitt presents it in a wonderful, relaxed, personal way. I try to get to as many concerts at the Levitt as I can - some because I know the band and want to hear them, others because its such a nice venue, and since its free I can experiment with new styles of music I might not try otherwise. This has quickly become one of my favorite things about Arlington!
My family and I have been going to the Levitt Pavillion ever since it has opened. To me it is one of the best things Arlington has to offer. In the two years we have had more pleasure going here than Six Flags or any football or baseball game. We have enjoyed many treasured moments. My Granddaughter was pulled on the stage during a performance by the Josh Weathers Band and she still talks about it. The music is awesome and it helps our local artist spread the word of their music. It covers every age and type of music. We even went to several small children's concert for the grandkids. If you like rock, it's there, if you like country, it's there. Every type of music is available. It is safe and a place you and your family can go to and relax and have fun. I have met several new and wonderful people. It still amazes me that they do all of this and hardly anyone pitches in. This place is one of the best things that has happened to Arlington in the 30 years I have lived here.
This was our first year attending the Levitt and all we can say is WOW!!! What a nice venue under the stars with an eclectic range of great performers. What a great "sense of community" including old and young, various ethnicities, and handicapped attendees make this a wonderful addition to Arlington. Can't wait until the series begins in May 2013.
We attend concerts at the Levitt Pavillion every spring and fall. The quality of the music is the best. We take our lawn chairs and our beer and snacks and settle in for a night of good music. It is fun to be introduced to different genres of music as the season goes on. We appreciate being able to talk to the artists afterward and buy CD's. It's so nice that it is all free.
Levitt Pavilion has given the Arlington community am opportunity to listen to music that otherwise they may not be exposed too. It has also given the people of Arlington a beautiful place to go and relax under the stars. We are grateful to have it! I highly suggest people come out and enjoy it!
What a great venue. They do a wonderful job of bringing a wide array of talent to perform each season. There is something for everyone, and a great opportunity to sample a wide variety of music. This is a very laid back and family friendly place, and it is FREE! We look forward to attending each season.
My family has benefited tremendously from the Levitt Pavilion. It is a free event that brings families together. I can't think of another event that allows all of us to attend free that is so enjoyable. From little kids dancing to the older generation...there just isn't any better entertainment that everyone can enjoy. We have listened to music that we typically wouldn't go hear so we have learned to enjoy and appreciate all kinds of music. 2 of my children are in college and even they like to join the family on a fri. or sat. night. I am proud to say it is happening in Arlington.
We discovered this gem when friends convinced us that sitting on the lawn in July in Texas "actually wasn't too bad." Not only was it not bad, it was great. Nice breeze, fantastic music, and a crowd that was vibrant with enthusiasm. We have been regulars ever since. I've lived in other cities that prided themselves on outdoor festivals, but I've never had the sense that the community came together as Arlington does at the Levitt. I'd give it ten stars if that were possible.-- John Hesley
My husband and I as well as some of our friends have visited our Levitt Pavilion several times. We have always had interesting and good quality artists. The location is easy to access, parking is convenient and even has a good selection of nice restaurants to grab a bite before or after the show. I would like to encourage you to check the veriety of programs and artists and try it out, you'd like it a lot.
Warm Texas nights, great performers, great sound quality, beautiful family friendly venue - what could be better? Oh yes, and did I mention it is free?
The Levitt Pavilion is the perfect venue and atmosphere for families, friends, and co-workers to sit under the stars, enjoy music, and one another. I really believe in this organization and what it offers the community. It's amazing to me that the entire city and surrounding cities have the privilege of coming and listening to talented bands for free. I encourage you to come check out the next concert series, you won't be disappointed! It's also provides a platform for talented artists to be heard.
We enjoy taking our grandkids to the kids night. We all join up for a nice dinner then we walk over with our chairs and camera to catch the memories. The music is so educational, and they just love jumping, dancing and singing along.
Come see for yourself! This is the best seat in the DFW area for free music! I enjoy watching a varity of bands & singers each early summer and fall at the Levitt. The area is wonderful for families, couples, singles and older/assistance needed guests. The grounds are wonderfully maintained. They offer food options that are yummy and the sound & lighting are top notch. Parking is easy and free. Even when they have had record numbers of people- like on the 3rd of July it was still easy to get around. Bring your lawn chair or blanket and come enjoy!
My husband and I have supported the Levitt from its first season. We LOVE live music and get to see the BEST at the Levitt. It's great to see a mix of community members enjoying the music and time together. The Levitt has recreated downtown Arlington and enjoys tremendous community support.
What a great way to glue a community together. The Music is always interesting and very well done. In these days of controversy at grass root levels, Arlington has risen above the fray and allowed individuals to be who they are. Bring on the music and we all win.
this place and what they do is wonderful. Moved to arlington from amarillo and found levitt throuh some local residents. I look forward to shows and the flyers that they put out each season. Can always find several shows that am interested in. I attend at least 3 to 4 shows each season and this venue is great. When i think of arlington i think of downtown and the levitt. Feels like home to me now. love sitting out in the night sky and watching great shows. Recommend this place to all my relatives who visit from out of town. All have said they love it.
The Levitt Pavilion Arlington has been a great addition to downtown Arlington. It has helped bring to life an area of town that was once quiet at night. The 50 free concerts provided annually help bring people of all ages together for a true family friendly time!
I am a life long resident of Arlington and the Levitt is one of, if not the best entertainment venues in the city. I have enjoyed all the different types of music presented here as well as the relaxed family atmostphere. My four grandchildren love laying out on a blanket listen to music, watching the stars and the airplanes over head. I just wish we had more than the two month long sessions to enjoy such GREAT music.
I have told more people about the Levitt because my husband and I have truly enjoyed this venue. Everyone involved is so friendly and we love how easy it is to park at the numerous lots available. I also like being able to use the indoor restroom facilities at City Hall. This is a safe, family-friendly venue and the music is always top-notch!
We look forward to these concerts every season. They offer such a variety that everone can find something they like, including ALOT for the kids. There's plenty of room to bring your own lawnchairs & coolers as well as concessions. They block off traffic so don't need to worry about kids running into the street. It's just a wonderful night of family entertainment for FREE!!
I truly can't tell you how much we appreciate the Levitt. My 7 and 8 year old absolutely love to go out for the events and it's a wonderful, safe environment for letting them run around and listen to great music. I always look forward to running into friends and meeting new ones. This has to be the best, free entertainment in Arlingon, TX!
I absolutely LOVE the family atmosphere that Levitt provides! The concerts as well as the July 4th program...AWESOME! I love to go with my son to these events! We jhave such a good time! I look forward to every season! THANK YOU! Toni
The music the Levitt Pavilion Arlington presents is wide-ranging and amazing. It opens the eyes and ears of the audience to music and performers that might not be chart-toppers, but they're still terrific. The experience of a show at the Levitt is great -- first of all, it's free, from the performance to the (very convenient) parking. (You can't imagine how rare that is in Dallas-Fort Worth!) The artist are sometimes local, from the area; others have been brought in from around the country or even around the world. The Levitt keeps the area's summer heat in mind when scheduling; its two "seasons" each year do not fall in the hottest month of August (thankfully). For me, the Levitt often satisfies my fondness for New Orleans artists and music. A brass band rocking out the Levitt can't be beat! :)
Great spot for Families and couples ...to enjoy!We sell Real Estate in the DFW Metroplex and we tell and bring our clients for great entertainment. We can't wait for the Spring Series.Thanks to all the Volunteers. Jim & Sandra Bitenc Help U Buy Realty
