The largest natural outdoor amphitheatre in the United States, tucked into the Santa Monica Mountains above Hollywood since 1922. The Bowl runs every summer from June through September — the LA Philharmonic, world-touring acts, comedians who understand what it means to play a room that seats 17,500 people under an open sky. You bring wine, you bring a picnic, you arrive early enough to watch the hills go dark. LAX is twenty minutes south on a good day. There are not always good days on the 405, but the Bowl is always worth it.
