On the Hollywood Broadwalk, at the bandshell next to Johnson Street, free live music plays most nights of the week from 7 to 9 in the evening, weather permitting, and the nights of Saturday, September 19, and Sunday, September 20, stay on the schedule. The show puts the ocean, the beach breeze and the yellow air on the same stage, with the pavement as the concert hall. The bandshell is the city's most used concert venue of the year.

The ocean as the back wall

The stage sits right on the walkway, between the ocean and the kiosks of food. Families pull up chairs with a snack and watch the set against the water, or set the kids to the park in the final hour. The set repeats at the same time every night, which is why it works for the younger crowd: the story ends before the late hour, and the beach is the place for the walk Home.

Two nights to plan around

The weekend concerts are free, the schedules sit at 7 to 9 in the evening, and the city lists the updates when a storm changes anything, which is rare in September. For families, the bandshell closes the weekend as it opened it: soft live music in the middle of a beach, the kind of plan a downtown family keeps in its pocket. Bring nothing more than a reason to slow down.
