The Autry in Griffith Park
Capacity is limited and these popular events are expected to sell out—reserve your spot today!
Spend a summer evening dancing under the stars at the Autry’s beloved Sizzling Summer Nights series. A longtime Los Angeles tradition, these high-energy outdoor concerts transform the museum plaza into one of the city’s great Thursday-night dance floors, featuring live salsa and Latin fusion music from some of L.A.’s most exciting bands.
Whether you come ready to dance every set or just want to soak in the music and summer atmosphere in Griffith Park, Sizzling Summer Nights welcomes everyone to the floor. No partner or experience needed!

The Autry Museum of the American West acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and So. Channel Islands). We recognize that the Autry Museum and its campuses are located on the traditional lands of Gabrielino/Tongva peoples and we pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
