KCRW Summer Nights is back! From June–September 2026, KCRW is hosting an entire season of FREE, outdoor, all-ages music events with iconic cultural venues across Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Each event is programmed with the same taste and point of view that KCRW DJs bring to the airwaves, including some fresh faces joining the roster this year. You’ll encounter music and vibes you might not have found on your own in cultural spaces that lend their own sense of discovery.

Eat, explore, and dance at a free, all-ages KCRW Summer Nights party with the Wende Museum, featuring a Good Food–curated Night Market. Sample bites, sip drinks, and catch live food discussions, then hit the dance floor with KCRW DJs Anne Litt and Nassir Nassirzadeh. Plus, take time to explore the museum after hours, including exhibitions like The Sextant by Enrique Martínez Celaya and Mobile Churches by Anton Roland Laub. You won’t want to miss this night that feeds both your appetite and your curiosity.
