Levitt Pavilion’s summer concert series in MacArthur Park to continue despite ICE raids
Jul 13, 2025
The annual Levitt Pavilion Los Angeles summer concert series held at MacArthur Park will go on despite the ongoing immigration raids, organizers said.
After canceling its first performance of the season on June 21, Levitt LA returned to its scheduled programming on June 28 with a performance from rock band Dengue Fever. The stage will welcome musical performances every Saturday through Aug. 30, featuring acts like Medusa, Eddie Chacon, Wazumbians, La Resistencia, Kinky and Redd Kross.
“I have nothing but respect and utmost gratitude for the team and artists who want to move forward. Why should this stop in MacArthur Park?” Levitt LA executive director Allegra Padilla said.
“Our safety is not guaranteed in places that are supposed to be our sanctuaries, like hospitals, schools and other places, so we might as well continue to come together in the heart of our city and enjoy the vibrant and beautiful culture that makes L.A. unique,” she added.
Close to 2,800 people have been arrested in the L.A. area since the raids began in early June, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Federal agents, accompanied by members of the National Guard, descended on MacArthur Park on Monday morning to carry out enforcement operations. Rumors of ICE activity had spread in the Westlake area prior to the sweeps. It’s unclear if anyone was arrested.
