- Present and support diverse and dynamic spectrum of artists from around the county, the country and the globe; and
- Preserve and cultivate an outdoor community destination where people of all ages and backgrounds are always welcome and encouraged get to know the arts, nature, and each othe
Over 90% of our annual programming and operations budget comes from corporations, foundations, ticketed events – and individual donors and members. Supporting the Levitt Pavilion is ALWAYS IN SEASON!
