School is back in session, temperatures are staying stubbornly high and pumpkin spice has started seasoning every store aisle.
Fall is around the corner, bringing a new lineup of concerts to Levitt Pavilion Arlington. The free downtown concerts resume Labor Day weekend starting Aug. 30, with a show headlined by country and Americana artist Ray Wylie Hubbard.
The Arlington venue hosts national and local artists, contracting over 100 artists a year. In 2023, it reported 71,550 concertgoers.

Within the fall schedule, Levitt Arlington officials highlight upcoming shows including singer-songwriter Josh Weathers on Sept. 27, the UTA Jazz Orchestra on Sept. 29, the Hispanic Heritage Celebration on Oct. 5 and the Asian Heritage Celebration on Oct. 19.
