Support the magic of free music beneath the open sky and twinkling stars at Levitt Pavilion Arlington, a beautiful outdoor performing arts venue renowned for a dynamic series of free, well-produced concerts presented each spring, summer, and fall. Since its debut in 2008, Levitt has emerged as an important community gathering space and a popular destination for music fans across Dallas-Fort Worth, offering an annual lineup of live performances that showcase a diverse range of emerging and globally-known artists, along with free community and cultural celebrations. As one of Arlington's premier entertainment attractions, the Levitt is also a driver of local economic growth and the ongoing revitalization of downtown Arlington, while also making a substantial contribution to the North Texas arts ecosystem through the Levitt's "Share The Stage" initiative that books local artists as opening acts for Levitt concerts. During the 2023 season alone, more than 100,000 guests have enjoyed Levitt concerts and events, while thousands more have enjoyed live streamed Levitt shows from locations around the world. Levitt facilities are also available for rental for private celebrations, businesses, and area non-profit organizations, many of which use the Levitt spaces to host meetings, community outreach events, and fundraisers.
In addition to volunteers for concerts and special events, the Levitt needs funding to support general operations—including artist fees, equipment purchase and maintenance, and security—and to complete payment for the recently-constructed Levitt Center, a hospitality area equipped with seating and A/V capabilities.
Our mission:
The Levitt’s mission is to provide free, culturally diverse music that can be enjoyed by everyone while building community through music. We will achieve this through our music, programs, partnerships, and outreach.
Donations are needed to keep free music available in the Metroplex, including musician fees and program support for more than 50 free family-friendly concerts.
Celebrating diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are values that are core to the mission of Levitt Arlington. Inclusion statement: Levitt Arlington’s continued commitment to diversity and inclusion is firmly rooted in our culture and our role as stewards of Levitt Arlington. Every decision we make to best serve our musicians, staff, volunteers, community, board, and partners is guided by one simple statement: “Music Connects Us” As stewards of Levitt Arlington, we believe we must: Love music and believe in its ability to stir emotions that bring people together regardless of background, experiences, or differences. Serve others by raising our collective voices to support the arts and provide equal opportunities for all artists, communities, and partners. Commit to creative placemaking to encourage community-led change.
