Shana Nys DambrotICYMI, the Music Center Plaza has been undergoing a significant renovation this past long while. But this landmark public space is finally ready for its close-up again, as the Plaza reopens with a full weekend of summer revelry they’re calling the Plaza For All Celebration.
Following a civic dedication Wednesday morning and a wine-bar happy hour block party Thursday afternoon, Friday night marks not only the start of a long weekend, but also the return of their beloved dusk-to-midnight Dance DTLA parties to the refurbished Plaza.
Saturday afternoon is the L.A. Master Chorale’s Big Sing processional performance leading folks from the Grand Park gathering place up to the Plaza for all the singing ever, and finally, enjoy a midday Sunday family-friendly campy game day in which fountain splashing is encouraged.
Music Center Plaza, 135 N. Grand Ave., downtown; Fri., Aug. 30, 7 p.m.-mid. (Dance DTLA); Sat., Aug. 31, 4-7:15 p.m. (Big Sing); Sun., Sept. 1, noon-6 p.m. (Splish Splash); free. (213) 972-7211, musiccenter.org/Plaza.
