Up in the Hollywood hills and surrounded by cypress trees, this roughly century-old outdoor theater is now operated by the LA Phil, and as a result the Hollywood Bowl’s smaller sibling now feels like a welcome bonus to the Bowl season. But unlike the staggeringly huge Bowl, the Ford and its castle-like stage are intimate by comparison with only 1,200 seats (and the same picnic-friendly policy). Even at that smaller size, parking is still a stacked squeeze in the tight Cahuenga Pass, so you’ll find free shuttle service from the Universal City Metro station as well as Ovation Hollywood.
