Kid-Friendy Events This Summer at The Hollywood Bowl

Everyone knows the Hollywood Bowl is great for adults, but there are many shows this summer that are also fun for the whole family.

Attending an outdoor concert at  The Hollywood Bowl is a truly unique way to appreciate music and culture in Los Angeles.

Living in Hollywood, we are doubly lucky that it is so convenient to live close by in the summer months. It may seem like June is far away, but in terms of securing good seats, it is time to buy tickets! In addition to the weekday morning concert series for kids aged 3-11, there are a number of great evening events that will be wonderful family outings, if your kids are able to stay up a little later than usual.

Here are some kid-friendly listings that are coming up this 2011 season.

What: Grease Sing Along. When: June 4, 7:30 p.m. and June 24, 8:30 p.m. When else do you have the chance to sit under the stars and sing “Greased Lightning” with thousands of people?

JULY:

What: Summer Sounds, Music and Arts for Kids, for children aged 3-11. When: Weekday mornings for kids in the summer the kids can attend a youth concert. (The Bowl releases the specific dates and times next month.)

AUGUST: 

What: Walt Disney’s Fantasia with fireworks. When: August 26 8:30 p.m. and August 27 at 7:30 p.m. My kids rarely have the chance to see the magic of fireworks, and how fun to be bundled up under the stars together and watch them after Walt Disney’s mystical Fantasia.

SEPTEMBER:

What: Sound of Music; Truly one of my family’s "Favorite Things." When: September 24, 7:30 pm. Tickets to the sing-alongs sell out fast. So book now if you are interested some great adventures this summer.
