Broadway Night Lights

Broadway Night Lights will bring Downtown Los Angeles to life, transforming the area from 3rd to 10th Street on Broadway into a vibrant festival. Building on the legacy of the original “Night on Broadway” event, which became a cultural staple after its launch in 2015, this revival celebrates arts, culture, and community spirit. The previous event grew from 35,000 attendees in its first year to 250,000 by 2018, revitalizing the Broadway corridor and significantly impacting local businesses and cultural engagement. This year, we anticipate around 75,000 attendees, reflecting the community’s excitement for this reimagined festival.
At Broadway Night Lights, attendees will experience a diverse array of live music on two stages, featuring genres that highlight the rich cultural diversity of Los Angeles, including Latin music. The event also offers the chance to explore historic theaters with exclusive performances and guided tours, engage with immersive art installations, and enjoy activities such as a Ferris wheel, Lucha Libre wrestling, circus-style performances, and glow-in-the-dark painting. With a variety of food options, family-friendly activities, and pop-up markets, this festival will not only boost local businesses but also enhance the cultural landscape and strengthen community bonds. Free and open to the public, Broadway Night Lights promises to be a must-attend celebration that truly showcases the vibrant spirit of LA.
