#hollywood bowl

I’m having a hard time believing that August will be over in just a few days. September is pretty much here. We’re looking forward to Labor Day weekend and having a mini stay-cation in Los Angeles.

One of the things we are looking forward to doing is saying goodbye to Summer with a bang. We’re heading to the Hollywood Bowl next Saturday evening and can’t wait! The Hollywood Bowl will be showing E.T in concert and under the stars on September 4th, 5th, and 6th (Fri-Sun). We had the opportunity to watch Back to The Future in concert at the Bowl earlier in this Summer and had so much fun. The Los Angeles Philharmonic will performs John Williams’ the Academy Award-winning score in its entirety.

The movies in concert series at the Hollywood Bowl is a perfect family evening out. You can purchase tickets starting at $13 and enjoy a night you won’t soon forget! There is still time to make it to the Hollywood Bowl if you haven’t had the opportunity to make it out this Summer. There are performances in September, including the fireworks finale with the B-52’s.

To purchase tickets, check out the Hollywood Bowl’s calendar, or to learn more about E.T. in Concert, head here.

I love Summer! Our family has a few Summer Traditions. We have to go to beach a couple of times, visit theme parks, a water park, and try to at least catch one outdoor music concert/festival. Last year we visited the Hollywood Bowl and this year we plan on doing it again as a family. I love that we can pack a picnic basket, bring a blanket, and enjoying a beautiful evening under the stars.

The Hollywood Bowl has quite a few family concerts this season.

Make sure to take advantage of the Park and Ride lots or the shuttle. Parking can be really intense at The Hollywood Bowl. I would really recommend taking the shuttle to avoid the hassle. We’ve taken it a few times and I can’t imagine not doing it again.

Tickets start at $20. To learn more about the upcoming season head here.
