The Hollywood Bowl to Reopen At Limited Capacity in May
Concerts at The Hollywood Bowl will soon open back up in May and capacity will be limited to about 4,000 people. As California’s safety guidelines concerning reopening are altered, the outdoor venue will be able to slowly welcome more people as we head into summer.
Four free concerts will kick off the opening in May and June with first respondents, essential workers, and healthcare professionals given priority attendance. Once July rolls around, the venue will host 14 weeks of events. Some of the most notable being a sing-a-long Sound of Music event, a Tchaikovsky event, and Fourth of July fireworks.
