Free live music returns to downtown over Labor Day weekend as the Levitt Pavilion opens its fall concert series<\/a> Friday, Sept. 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n The three-night kickoff features Americana group Blue Water Highway on Friday, country artist Shelby Stone on Saturday and Latin rock band Del Castillo on Sunday. The fall series, presented by Baylor Scott & White Orthopedic and Spine Hospital-Arlington, continues through Oct. 24 with concerts spanning country, Tejano, blues, jazz, and more.<\/p>\n Opening night also brings an opportunity to combine dinner, music and giving back through Meals with Meaning<\/a>, presented by First Rate Investment Performance Group. The VIP family-style dining experience will feature a chef-driven menu prepared by Chef Levi Gardner of Margie\u2019s Italian Garden, with proceeds supporting the fight against food insecurity.<\/p>\n Fall highlights begin with Stars, Stripes & Remembrance (Sept. 11), a 9\/11 anniversary tribute featuring country artist Coffey Anderson, followed by Faith On Fire (Sept. 12), a praise and worship night headlined by contemporary Christian hitmaker Matthew West.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fans can also turn back the clock with tributes to ABBA, Prince, Bob Seger and Van Halen (Sept. 26, Oct. 2 and Oct. 16) while Texas favorites and independent artists appearing throughout the fall include Jay P\u00e9rez, Gary P. Nunn, Los Texmaniacs, Blue Tongue, The Buffalo Ruckus and more.<\/p>\n The Fifth Annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration (Oct. 3) offers a group dance lesson from Salsa in the Gardens, live music headlined by Mike Gonzalez and the Iconiczz; and a vibrant street market featuring more than 70 food, shopping and other vendors.\u00a0<\/p>\n The fall concert season goes out on a high note with Do Good Fest Texas (Oct 24), bringing an all-star lineup featuring multi-platinum rock favorites Barenaked Ladies and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb to the Levitt stage. Presented by National Life Group, the ticketed charity concert benefits Tarrant Area Food Bank\u2019s Ready to Learn program, with all proceeds from $20 ticket sales supporting the cause. Fans are encouraged to purchase tickets early<\/a> for the anticipated sellout show.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have so many opportunities this fall to hear music you already know and love, whether you\u2019re reliving great memories of ABBA or Barenaked Ladies with friends or introducing your kids to songs you\u2019ve been singing for years,\u201d said Angela Pe\u00f1a, executive director of Levitt Pavilion Arlington. \u201cBut the Levitt is also a place to discover independent artists, explore different genres and hear music that may be new to you. The Blue Tongue show is a great example of a night that checks all those boxes. That mix of familiar favorites and new discoveries is part of what makes the Levitt experience so much fun.\u201d<\/p>\n Levitt concerts are free (except for Do Good Fest). Food trucks are available each concert night, and vendor markets add to the experience on select dates. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and settle in for an evening of live music in the heart of the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n Looking past the fall lineup, the Levitt is also moving forward with nearly $2.3 million in sound, visual and security infrastructure improvements designed to elevate the concert experience for the next generation. Work will accelerate in January and is expected to be completed in time for the venue\u2019s 20th anniversary season in 2027.<\/p>\n Tips for rockin\u2019 the Levitt:<\/p>\n
