A longtime Los Angeles tradition, these high-energy outdoor concerts transform the museum plaza into one of the city’s great Thursday-night dance floors, featuring live salsa and Latin fusion music from some of L.A.’s most exciting bands.
Whether you come ready to dance every set or just want to soak in the music and summer atmosphere in Griffith Park, Sizzling Summer Nights welcomes everyone to the floor. No partner or experience needed!
The evening includes:
- Live music on the plaza
- Free salsa dance lesson with instructor April Connella
- Access to museum galleries
- A family-friendly kids’ dance floor
- Food and drinks available for purchase
