LIVE! Concert Series on the Plaza
From salsa to strings, and blues to swing, Live! Concert Series on the Plaza features hot entertainment in a cool, open-air atmosphere. From August through September, noon – 1:30pm, enjoy free lunchtime performances featuring world-renowned entertainers in a variety of flavors, such as reggae, country, Latin jazz, Go-Go and mariachi. There is plenty of outdoor seating so take the Metro, grab lunch from food court and spend the afternoon grooving.
​
Launched in 2000, the series supports one of our building’s missions to establish a pedestrian link between the National Mall and business district north of Pennsylvania Avenue, creating an open, active and inviting atmosphere.
