The iconic Gloria Molina Grand Park’s Sunday Sessions is back this summer to reenergize Downtown L.A.! On two select Sundays, house music fans and dance lovers can let the summer vibes flow freely with live DJs, a 21+ beer garden, a vibrant marketplace of local artisans and more on July 19 and August 16, 2026, from 3:00 – 8:00 p.m. Sunday Sessions is the ultimate summer destination to connect and dance with other Angelenos under the DTLA skyline and celebrate The Music Center’s joyful “Summer of Dance.” The history of house music can be traced back to an era when marginalized communities gathered not only to dance, but also to provide mutual support and find solace during tumultuous times. The dance floor was a blueprint for shared resources and lasting wellbeing; this year’s Sunday Sessions will continue that spirit.
DJ collective Baile World headlines the July 19, 2026, edition of Sunday Sessions and showcases a genre-blending lineup where global rhythms converge on the open-air dance lawn. L.A. native DJ CQUESTT founded Baile World—touted by the Los Angeles Times as a party movement that will “take you to another part of the world”—to create an energizing space where culture and music converge. Joining DJ CQUESTT on the turntables will be Josh Peace, Spiñorita and headlining Bronx-based duo Dos Flakos. Rooted in their Dominican heritage and New York edge, Dos Flakos—comprised of brothers Chris and Rich—is at the forefront of the Latin House and Tribal House movement, delivering diaspora-inspired edits and electrifying remixes that weave Caribbean influences from reggaeton and dancehall directly into the house music tradition.
The August 16, 2026, edition of Sunday Sessions celebrates the foundational Black and LGBTQIA+ roots of house music curated by L.A.-based DJ and producer Terrell Brooke of TheyHouse, a premier DJ crew highlighting the genre’s history and current pulse. The lineup features local favorites—BLKshine, Packrat and NRS LNDSY—spinning a mix of rare Chicago house, acid tracks and Deep House classics. The internationally acclaimed, New York-based duo The Illustrious Blacks headlines the afternoon. Renowned for their “Afro-Electro-Disco-Space-Punk” style and releases on Defected Records, the dynamic real-life couple (Monstah Black and Manchildblack) fuses funk, techno and disco into a high-energy performance that brings a brilliant celebration of ballroom-inspired, soulful house tracks to “the park for everyone.”
While enjoying the global grooves at Gloria Molina Grand Park, guests of all ages can shop for unique items and gifts made by local artisans and small businesses at The Maker’s Market as well as create their own amazing arts and crafts. For a refreshing interlude, the park’s splash pad provides the perfect respite to cool off and recharge before the next dance set.
