Arlington, Texas residents Maggie and Roger Gallenstein know how to enjoy a Levitt concert with style! Their impressive setup—complete with picnic chairs, a homemade tablecloth on their mini picnic table, wine glasses and (of course) fresh cut flowers—creates an atmosphere of “elegance and romance” amidst Levitt Pavilion Arlington’s joyous, family-friendly setting.

This spring, 20 six-foot fiberglass stars will be brightening up Arlington, Texas, home to Levitt Pavilion Arlington, as part of the Star of Texas public art project.

This month, we’re also looking forward to concerts starting at Levitt AMP Denison, Levitt Pavilion Arlington and Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks!
Just in case you were wondering, the staff of Levitt Pavilions love music. If you ever were to wander over to our offices, you’d hear anything from someone’s Spotify holiday playlist to a live Dublab stream.
So of course, the best way for us to wrap up 2013 is with our top five tracks of the year. After reading through, let us know what you loved about music in 2013.

We’re thrilled to announce that Houston has been selected as the site of the eighth Levitt Pavilion! Levitt Pavilion Houston will be the crown jewel of the 280-acre Willow Waterhole Conservation Reserve in Southwest Houston’s Westbury neighborhood.
Just like Levitt’s six existing music venues across America (there’s a seventh in development in Denver’s Ruby Hill Park), Levitt Pavilion Houston will present 50 free, family-friendly concerts every year in a welcoming, outdoor setting for Greater Houston, home to a population of over six million people. When the sustainably designed venue opens in 2017, it will be able to accommodate up to 5,000 nightly concertgoers for a broad range of high quality concerts featuring acclaimed, emerging talent to seasoned, award-winning performers.
Stellar performances, enthusiastic crowds made for an unforgettable year!
It may be fall, but we’re still thinking about the free concerts that filled the warm, evening air at the six Levitt venues across America. The 2013 season was packed with surprises, sing-alongs and stars both of the celestial and musical variety, celebrating the arts and community from coast-to-coast.
New performers, longer seasons, Levitt favorites and exciting events made for record-breaking attendance and the best season yet. With too many must-see concerts to mention, here are some of the highlights from 2013!
