Summer breezes… an intimate courtyard… free parking… and great music. Escape to Culver City for the 2015 Culver City’s Boulevard Music Summer Festival. Boulevard Music presents six free concerts on Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. from July 9 to Aug. 13 in the palm-lined courtyard of Culver City City Hall.
