The Hollywood Bowl , originally known as Daisy Dell or Bolton Canyon, is a 1920s outdoor amphitheater in our neighborhood that is used primarily for music performances. The Bowl can also be an amazing place to visit in off hours, when concerts are not in session.
The Hollywood Bowl is known for its band shell, a distinctive set of concentric arches that graced the site from 1929 through 2003, before being replaced with a somewhat larger one beginning in the 2004 season. The shell is set against the backdrop of the Hollywood Hills and the famous Hollywood Sign to the Northeast.
The “bowl” refers to the shape of the concave hillside the amphitheater is carved into. The bowl is owned by the County of Los Angeles and is the home of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, the summer home of theLos Angeles Philharmonic and the host of hundreds of musical events each year.
It is located at 2301 North Highland Avenue, north of Hollywood Boulevard and the Hollywood/Highland subway station, on the west side of the boulevard, just south of Route 101.
