Sizzling Summer Nights 2009

Every Thursday in July and August
6:30 pm to 9 pm

Evenings at the museum are about to get a little hotter!

The Autry's annual Sizzling Summer Nights outdoor dance party returns to Griffith Park with the scintillating sounds of live mambo, son, Latin jazz, and Afro-Cuban beats. 

Come early for dinner or a stroll through the museum galleries.  The café opens with a taco and drink bar at 6:00.
