Tchaikovsky and fireworks – a beloved Hollywood Bowl tradition! This year’s spectacular features the great Russian composer’s beloved Violin Concerto, as well as the 1812 Overture complete with roaring cannon and blazing pyrotechnics.

Rated as Pollstar Magazine's “Best Major Outdoor Venue,” the Hollywood Bowl is the largest natural outdoor amphitheater in the United States. The Bowl is a friendly sociable place where Southern Californians gather to picnic and enjoy outstanding music under the stars. Food and beverages may be purchased at the Bowl, and picnic dinners are encouraged.

The Hollywood Bowl is the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, which since its founding in 1919, has been hailed as Southern California's leading performing arts institution. The Philharmonic is recognized as one of the world's most outstanding orchestras.

Dining under the stars has always been part of the Hollywood Bowl experience. Concert-goers are invited to bring dinner, snacks, wine and/or drinks into the Hollywood Bowl venue to eat at one of the picnic tables in the area, or at your seat. You are welcome to bring your own picnic dinner. In addition, a variety of snacks and refreshments, including hot dogs, enchiladas, chicken sandwiches, salads, snacks, soft drinks, beer, champagne, and wine will be available at concession stands located throughout the Bowl.

Since the Hollywood Bowl is located in the Los Angeles hillside, there are some moderate to steep inclines throughout the area. Electric carts, elevators and escalators are available to assist in taking you to your seat at the Hollywood Bowl. Handicap accessible seating is available upon advanced request only.
