Overton Park Shell is a historic venue established in 1936, presenting a signature series of free concerts to build community through music. It is a favorite and great concert venue with a spacious, clean, and beautiful park. The atmosphere, visuals, audio, and stage are fantastic for a world class event. The sound is great and you can see the band well no matter where you are. It is recommended to bring your own chairs or a blanket, as the benches are not very comfortable. There are lots of food, beer, and cocktail options available for sale. The venue provides a perfect experience for diverse audiences enjoying music as the sun goes down.
Best for Live Music Because: Live music, no admission, gorgeous setting, your own picnic basket. That makes the Shell one of the city's best live music venues. Best for Early Entertainment Because: Shows at the Levitt tend to be early evening, so you still feel like you have a social live, but you're home by 11.
