Live! Concert series on the plaza

From salsa to strings, and blues to swing, Live! Concert Series on the Plaza features hot entertainment for the downtown DC community.

From July 7 through September 26, 2025, noon - 1:00pm on Wilson Plaza, join us for free lunchtime performances featuring the area's most talented entertainers. Enjoy a variety of musical flavors, such as Go-Go, jazz, bluegrass folk, reggae, rock, country, pop rock and more. There is plenty of outdoor seating, so take the Metro, grab lunch and spend the afternoon grooving.

Launched in 2000, the LIVE! Concert Series supports our mission to create an open, active and inviting atmosphere for the community and establish a pedestrian link between the National Mall and business district north of Pennsylvania Avenue.
