Levitt Loves Family Fun
Summer is coming to an end—that means earlier sunsets, fall foliage and students back in school. But before the season turns, moms, dads, siblings, cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles across the country are outdoors soaking up the sun together enjoying this Labor Day holiday.

Whether you’re cooking up a delicious barbecue, picnicking at a park, or grooving to the sounds of Funky Blu Roots on the Levitt AMP Utica lawn, we wish you and your family a fun holiday!

With barbecues and fireworks happening all across the country, Independence Day just isn’t complete without festive music and the American flag! Check out this photo from Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks’ opening weekend in 2011, with Old Glory displayed for the 4th of July holiday. Local group Allentown Symphony Orchestra performed an exciting night of patriotic music, followed by fireworks lighting up the Bethlehem sky.

Levitt concert series continue to delight audiences’ eyes and ears this Independence Day. Tonight, Levitt AMP Utica kicks off its concert series with Los Angeles jazz-funk fusion band Groove Legacy while Doug Wimbish of GRAMMY-winning Living Colour rocks Levitt AMP Asbury Park as Wim-bash.

Wishing you a fun and memorable night of Independence Day festivities!

Levitt loves...maestros in the making!Have you ever conducted a stage full of professional musicians? This young lad has! Young audience members were invited up onto the stage to get a taste of what it’s like to conduct an orchestra during the Pasadena Symphony’s 2014 performance of Peter & the Wolf at Levitt Pavilion Pasadena. You never know when a dream might be sparked. Perhaps one day we’ll see him take the stage again!

This year, the impact of the Levitt concert season will be soaring to new heights (just like this adorable onesie-clad concertgoer at the 2015 Levitt AMP Bellingham Music Series). The upcoming concert season will feature 450+ free Levitt concerts in 21 towns and cities across America!

With concert preparations already underway, the countdown for the largest Levitt season in history is on. Are you ready?

It’s hard to say which dance partner is having more fun! And this is exactly what Levitt lawns are for—creating places where concertgoers of all ages can come together and have a blast listening to free, live music. There’s plenty more Levitt lawn fun coming your way, so stay tuned for updates about the 2016 Levitt concert season!

A special thanks to Sara Virginia Yongue for capturing this great moment from the Levitt AMP Lafayette Music Series!

Even when covered in a blanket of white, Levitt lawns continue to serve as community gathering places.

We’re reminded time and again that Levitt venues are so much more than places to experience free, live music. They’re centers for community life—places where soccer fans can come together and cheer on their favorite teams, places where blind and visual impaired youth can hunt for Easter eggs, places where community members can bundle up and master their sledding skills…the list goes on and on!

Levitt loves - selfless serviceAs the late, great Maya Angelou once said, “How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!”

Today we honor the service and sacrifice of the men and women who’ve proudly donned a United States uniform. Thank you for your courage and commitment to defending the freedoms that we all hold so dear. 

Veterans, we thank you for your selfless service—on this day, and all the rest.

Spring is in full swing! Once again, colorful signs of rebirth fill the great outdoors—from chirping baby birds to flowers bursting into bloom. It seems everywhere we look we’re reminded just how lovely new beginnings can be.

Before diving into yet another fun-filled summer, let’s take a moment to take stock of the season’s friendly reminders and try something new (or perhaps share something new with a young loved-one like we see in today’s Levitt Loves)!
