Good to know
- Picnicking is the tradition: you may bring your own wine to LA Phil-presented concerts, not to leased (pop) events
- Do not drive: use the Park & Ride or Bowl shuttles, parking on site is scarce
- Off-season the grounds are open free when no concert is on, and the free museum by the Highland entrance covers the Bowl's history
