KCRW Summer Nights at The Autry: Free Music, Culture, and Summer Vibes

Los Angeles summers aren’t complete without KCRW Summer Nights, and one of the most vibrant stops is at The Autry Museum in Griffith Park. Blending live music with cultural programming, this free series transforms the museum courtyard into a lively gathering place under the stars.
Why The Autry Stands Out
The Autry isn’t just a venue—it’s a museum dedicated to the American West, and during Summer Nights it becomes a hub for music, dancing, and community connection. Guests can explore exhibits, enjoy food and drinks, and immerse themselves in a unique blend of history and modern culture.
What to Expect
- Live DJ sets and performances curated by KCRW
- Free admission to museum galleries during the event
- Food trucks and drinks available on-site
- Dance-friendly vibes that keep the crowd energized all night
Easy and Accessible
One of the biggest draws? Accessibility. With free entry and easy access via the Metro, KCRW Summer Nights at The Autry is an inclusive way for Angelenos and visitors alike to enjoy world-class culture and entertainment without the hefty price tag.

Why You Should Go
Whether you’re looking to dance, soak up LA’s creative scene, or simply enjoy a summer evening outdoors, KCRW’s Summer Nights series delivers the perfect balance of music, culture, and community.
