BUILDING LEVITT: CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES
San José is about to turn up the volume.
Imagine a welcoming lawn full of families, friends, neighbors and colleagues sitting on picnic blankets, and listening to stellar original music on a gorgeous stage with pristine sound. A beer / wine garden sits to the left, next to a concessions building with restrooms. A 16’ x 9’ LED wall allows visitors in the back to enjoy all fun on stage, while showcasing concert sponsors. Ample redwood trees provide shade, while the kids play in the screen-free craft area with their friends.
Now - multiply experience that times 50.
In August of 2027, San José will break ground on a 2.6 acre live music campus in St. James Park, right in the heart of downtown, that will produce 50 free, all-ages concerts annually.
Levitt Pavilion San José will be the city’s first turnkey outdoor stage, programmed by the non-profit Friends of Levitt Pavilion San José, in partnership with the City and Levitt Family Foundation.
