Arlington’s Levitt Pavilion will close out its 2025 concert season in October with a month of free live music, cultural celebrations and a throwback '90s festival headlined by Collective Soul.
The month begins Oct. 3 with Beatles tribute band Hard Nights Day, followed by the fourth annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration on Oct. 4 featuring five-time Grammy winning Tejano legend Little Joe y La Familia. Other highlights include Texas country artist Dalton Domino on Oct. 10, the Asian Heritage Celebration on Oct. 11, and Levitt fan favorite Micky & The Motorcars on Oct. 17. The season crescendos with Do Good Fest Texas on Oct. 18, where Collective Soul joins Tonic and Fastball for a '90s-themed benefit concert ($10 ticket, proceeds to Tarrant Area Food Bank).
In addition to concerts, the Levitt will host the Men Serving God “BBQ & Brotherhood” gathering on Oct. 21. The community event includes free barbecue, live music and 30 local organizations sharing volunteer opportunities in and around Arlington. Levitt guests are also encouraged to support local causes throughout the month, including a toy drive benefiting Mission Arlington at the Dalton Domino show and food bank donations at Do Good Fest.
“It’s going to be a month of outstanding live music, community connection and plenty of fun,” said Letatia Teykl, the Levitt’s executive director. “Our partners aren’t just creating great experiences for Levitt guests — they’re making a real difference in our community. In keeping with the true Levitt spirit, we encourage everyone to support Mission Arlington, donate to the Tarrant Area Food Bank and join the barbecue to learn more about local volunteer opportunities.”
All concerts are free (except for Do Good Fest) at the Levitt Pavilion, 100 W. Abram St. Guests are encouraged to arrive early, bring lawn chairs or blankets and take advantage of free parking in City of Arlington or public downtown lots. Food truck concessions are available at all events. (Note that no outside food or drink is permitted for the Do Good Fest.) A full schedule is available at levittpavilionarlington.org.
