The Purloined Pavilion

A worn park brought back to life with music for the masses? Sound familiar?

MacArthur park has been Levitt-ised and kicks things off today:

Councilmember Ed P. Reyes and the Friends of the Levitt Pavilion - MacArthur Park ... Wed., Aug. 8, at 8 a.m. will kick off of a free concert series at the newly-renovated The Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts at the MacArthur Park Bandshell at the northwest corner of the park, near the intersection of W. 6th St. and S. Park View St.

The summer concert season, which runs Aug. 8 - Sept. 16, includes 30 free weekly-themed evening concerts. The World Music, Dance Rhythms, Música Latina, American Roots and Children's Night concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Sunday concerts begin at 6:30 p.m.

UPDATED: Free evening concerts at Pasadena's Levitt Pavilion are online here.

Much love to my A-No. 1 competitor, Andre Coleman, who celebrated his special day yesterday. By the way, Andre, the AARP called and is wondering why they haven't heard back from you!

UPDATED: Apparently Aug. 6 was also the special day of none other than former Star-News political reporter Gary Scott.
