Music and Metro – Metro Goes to Free Concerts Everywhere!
Discover LA by Metro:
Summer in LA means the parks and plazas near Metro Rail stations are alive with the sound of music, the rhythm of dance, and the applause of the crowds. It’s free concert time!
All across Los Angeles County you can see FREE music, dance, and theater performances adjacent to Metro Rail stations. We attended performances at four venues: Grand Performances at California Plaza and Levitt Pavilion at MacArthur Park, both off the Red/Purple Line; Levitt Pavilion at Memorial Park, Pasadena, off the Gold Line; and Summer and Music – Downtown Long Beach, off the Blue Line.
These are just a sampling of what’s available for free. We’ve included links to other free (and fee) concerts.
So hop on the Metro and go to a concert!
