Levitt Pavilion

I enjoyed it, parked over near the wade building. I loved Delta Rae. It was hard to find a place and sit or stand, so I eventually made my way to the beer and wine stand on the other side, it was fenced in and with some tables to lean against. So I sat there, enjoying the music and the calm, cool breeze.

It did start to rain, but that was all right, the "free music under the stars" show won me over pretty well. Next time there's an event with them, I'll be sure to attend again, and with a blanket and possibly chair.  The music, as mentioned was stunning, and unfortunately I was unable to stay until the end due to the storm, but that's fine. I greatly enjoyed my time there and would love to attend again. I did have to stop at a cheap motel due to not wanting to get on that freeway when the weather started to come in, but that's another story altogether.

Good job Arlington, and thanks for a great show! You'll see me around again, I'm sure

I enjoyed this! I was listening to this new band I found, Delta Rae, and just really getting into their music, so I figured I'd check out their tour dates. Low and behold they were playing, in Arlington, that very Friday, and FOR FREE! Kismet!

It was a "free music under the stars" show. It was a cool breezy night, with a big sky overhead and great music, all for the price of free so I was already happy. Add in plenty of space even for the big crowd that showed up along with really good sound quality, and professionalism and I was a happy camper.

Parking can get tricky but places around the venue allow parking, so check their website for ideas. Look for spots at City Hall, the library, the first baptist church, and the UTA parking garage. We found a spot pretty quick and we only arrived maybe 15 minutes before showtime. Walking distance from all these places is pretty short too, so good location choice for this place.  

Next time I will be sure to bring a blanket or chairs to sit on, though I did find a place to perch on the side that still had a good view. I also saw lots of people with coolers, drinks, even lil folding tables out and feasts going on. This is a good date night idea, or a fun hang out with friends time, really the crowd was a big mix of everyone, which is cool.  

It did start to get rainy, so I didn't stay for the end of the show, though I did get to hear most of the songs I came for, Delta Rae rocked! Luckily there are a ton of local restaurants within walking distance, so we just walked to the closest one and waited out the storm with hot pizza and brews, a great end to the night.  

Overall I have to say good job Arlington! This is a really fabulous setup, keep the amazing bands coming!

Levitt's a great idea that's actually working in almost as well in practice as in theory.  A free community stage with a fairly regular schedule, a variety of acts, and decent sound.

I've been a performer and audience member at Levitt Pavilion several times.  It's almost always a great experience.  Sound is usually well run and the longer it's around, the better they get.  It's big enough to fit what needs to be on stage.  The lighting is well done and it actually looks nice sitting in the middle of downtown.

The stage faces in a way that keep the sun out of the audience's eyes and allows natural lighting for daytime shows.  Only downside of this is that when you're playing the stage, the sun and all its heat are focused on you.  A 5:00pm summer show on Levitt's stage is a miserable mess of heat and blindness.  However, I've never played there when they didn't provide bottled water to help cool us down.  

The green is nicely done with a good view.  Decoration and landscaping is kept fairly tasteful.  

Acts coming across the stage range from local bands, to community wind bands, to national acts, to university jazz bands.  It's a great mix of genres as well.  I'm glad Arlington has finally opened up a venue like this as part of their plan to revitalize the downtown area.
