This Week at the Levitt Pavilion

July 3-7

Free music and more! Light Up Arlington! adds mid-week activities to concert week

Breaking news! Abram Street has re-opened for additional concert seating just in time for Light Up Arlington! and this week's concerts. As usual, the street will be blocked during the concerts for everyone's safety.

Don't forget! Beginning with the Blue Water Highway concert on Friday, July 5, the remainder of the Levitt's summer concerts will begin at 8:30 p.m.

Wednesday: Light Up Arlington!, presented by Arlington Parks & Recreation in Downtown Arlington, surrounds the Levitt Pavilion and includes vendors, food, activities and a designated children's area, which all start at 6 p.m. Free music on the Levitt stage begins at 7 p.m. with soul-singing dynamo, Donovan Keith, at 8:45 p.m., Hannah Kirby, a hometown top eight finalist during her season on The Voice, performs her signature bluesy rock. Hannah pauses her performance at 9:45 p.m. for Arlington's annual fireworks display, then resumes at 10 p.m. Both artists are presented by Viridian. Also that evening, Arlington's Luke Chacko will belt out the National Anthem. The 13-year-old became a viral internet sensation after an impromptu performance singing "Let It Go" with Idina Menzel at Verizon Theater in Grand Prairie two years ago, which led to an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Friday: Blue Water Highway returns to the Levitt at 8:30 p.m. presented by WFAA. The band that named themselves for a stretch of highway along the Texas Gulf Coast is known for excellent musicianship, great songs and a signature three-part harmony that sets them apart from their peers.

Saturday: Authenticity. Self-reliance. Hard work. Camaraderie. Gratitude. These are qualities Zane Williams sings about in his rootsy, real-life country music. He brings his home-grown Texas sound to the Levitt at 8:30 p.m. presented by Paragon Eye Associates.

Sunday: The Levitt welcomes back a favorite performer at 8:30 p.m., world/folk fusion artist KatsuK. Composer/performer Daniel Katsük, accompanied by world-beat, symphonic instrumentalists, produces a dynamic, exhilarating musical experience that ranges from folk, rock, reggae, funk and soul to highly charged percussion and melodious symphonic textures. His concert is presented by J. Gilligan's.

What if it Rains?

Texas weather is unpredictable and changes very quickly. We try not to cancel concerts if at all possible and often wait until close to concert time to make a decision. If there is lightning or weather that could potentially injure you, our artists, crew or equipment, we will cancel the concert. If we have to cancel, we will post it on our website, on the 24-hour information line, and on our Facebook and Twitter. You also can sign up for Weather Alerts on our Levitt Arlington app, and receive updates directly to your phone.
