MAC·LA provides vibrant, inspiring experiences that foster social connections and drive economic progress.

For nineteen summers, MAC·LA has turned MacArthur Park into a space where everyone belongs — no matter their race, culture, gender, age, or ability. In 2025, more than 27,000 people joined us in person and online to hear over 100 artists whose music reflected the heart of Los Angeles.

From Cumbia to punk, Afrobeats to Hip-Hop, Cambodian rock to LA soul — MAC·LA proves how difference can create connection. And through every concert, every free lawn seat, we carry forward one simple belief:

Great music and shared cultural experiences are a right, not a privilege.

MAC·LA does not exist for the few. We exist for the many. And in music and the arts, we find each other.
