Grand Performances is back and has announced its 2016 line up of performances. Now that the metro is here…take advantage and head downtown without worrying about parking. Meet some friends pack a picnic and enjoy the live music among the concrete jungle of downtown LA!
Hailed as the “Best Free Outdoor Summer Concert Series,” Grand Performances returns this June for its 30th
Anniversary season with an international and local lineup of artists that reflect the diversity and cultural depth of Los Angeles. A stage set into a waterfall at Grand Avenue’s California Plaza comes alive with a state of the art sound and lighting system that rivals any venue in the area. Audience members picnic, dance, or simply sit and enjoy the performances amongst the tall office and residential skyscrapers and the stars.
Performances run from June 10 through August 21.
