Bring your family to one of LA's best free music and art cultural offerings - WORLD CITY concerts at Walt Disney Hall's amphitheater

World City concerts are of really high quality performances for your educational and family enjoyment and are frequently interactive.  Over the years, we have rarely ever seen a repeat performance.  Seats are obtained by queuing up at the bottom of the grand staircase at Grand Ave/2nd Street intersection.  The three hundred tickets per show go quickly, so I suggest coming a good 60-90 minutes before 10am since the free tickets are distributed at 10am for the first show at 11am, and at 11am for the 12.30pm show.  Each individual can ask for 10 tickets, so share your tickets with another family so the other adult can supervise the children play at the garden level while their other adults stay in line.  Bring hats/sunscreen, snacks or lunch (clean up after yourself of course) as this is an outdoor amphitheater performance on the 3rd level where the beautiful urban garden is.  Plan to stay for at least 3 amazing art projects work on cultural themes featured during that day's concert.  For those enjoying the second concert, do the art projects first!   Plan a playdate and go as a group of families to have fun!  Walk to the LA Cathedral for its animal sculptural garden or tour its underground vaults.  Enjoy the shooting water fountains at California Water Plaza and MOCA on Grand Ave.World City - Red Thunder
