Summer is officially here, and Downtown Arlington is heating up with live music, family-friendly events and plenty of ways to celebrate the season. Whether you're looking to catch a free outdoor concert or enjoy a featured event, June in downtown is sure to be a hit. Here’s what’s coming up:

Look Ahead

Live Performances

June brings another incredible lineup of free concerts to Levitt Pavilion, with performances spanning genres and generations.

As always, concerts are family-friendly and completely free. Just bring a blanket, some lawn chairs, and enjoy the good vibes.

For those looking to beat the heat indoors, Arlington Music Hall has a packed calendar featuring national comedians and mind-blowing performances. You can also catch a performance of the new Theatre Arlington production, “A Chorus Line.”

Arts and Culture

The first Thursday of the month means one thing in Downtown Arlington: art, music and community. First Thursdays returns on June 6, inviting visitors to explore exhibits, live music and pop-ups throughout downtown from 5 to 8 p.m. It’s a great way to discover hidden gems and support the arts and many of our own small businesses.

Look Back

May was a month of festivities and community-building downtown. Levitt Pavilion continued its free concert season with high-energy performances, and the annual DreamFest attracted thousands. Community members gathered for shows at Arlington Music Hall and live performances of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" at Theatre Arlington.

Residents and visitors enjoyed a successful May First Thursday that produced the new mural honoring the National Medal of Honor Museum on Curnutt & Hafer LLP’s Abram Street building. More Saturdays at the Downtown Arlington Farmers Market and experiences across Arlington’s Cultural District made this May memorable.
