Levitt Pavilions

Description

Levitt Pavilions connects the public and private sectors using free, live music as a vehicle to create viable public spaces. We are the only national network of music venues that presents an annual series of concerts free to the public. What's more, Levitt Pavilions is committed to developing Levitt venues in areas that need community revitalization-underused, abandoned or crime-ridden public spaces in our nation's cities.

Each local Levitt is a true community-driven project- the result of a collective agreement among civic leaders and engaged citizens. Typically located in public parks accessible to a wide range of socio-economic groups, each Levitt venue is a city-owned facility, which is managed and programmed by a local Friends of Levitt Pavilion (FOLP) nonprofit organization. Through this public/private partnership, resources are levered to reduce expenses and ensure cost-efficient operations.
