Hollywood Bowl
About
The Hollywood Bowl, an amphitheater in the Hollywood Hills that opened in 1922, is known for its white concentric-arch bandshell and holds about 17,000 people; it's the LA Phil's summer home. You can bring a picnic to summer concerts, and since getting out of the parking is slow, the Park & Ride shuttles are the way to go.

A white bandshell in the canyon: one of the most recognizable scenes of an LA summer night.
Insider tips
- Go with Park & Ride or the Bowl Shuttle; stacked parking takes forever to clear after the show.
- Picnic and alcohol rules vary by event; check that night's event page before you go.
- The canyon cools off fast on summer nights; bring a light jacket even if the day's hot.
