What we do…

Why…

We believe music brings people together and we’re committed to strengthening our community through the arts. Levitt Pavilion has presented nearly 600 free concerts since its opening in July 2011. Check out a concert on the Levitt lawn and see for yourself!

Levitt free programming is made possible by the generous support of our donors and sponsors. Nearly 80 percent of the annual operating budget is raised locally. Love the idea of free music for the community? Become a Friend of Levitt.
