UPDATE: With less than two months to go until the event, the upcoming Night on Broadway has been quietly canceled. Instead, the event has been moved to 2020, according to its website. The cancelation comes a few weeks after an FBI raid on the home and office of Councilman Jose Huizar, who spearheaded the decade-long Bringing Back Broadway initiative.

Need any more convincing that Broadway is back? How about a cultural festival spanning six of Downtown’s historic theaters and movie palaces. All of the venues will open their doors for free during Night on Broadway to host performances and installations. Outside the theaters, there’s a street festival between 3rd and Olympic with shopping pop-ups, a family-friendly kids area and a music main stage. The event celebrates the Bringing Back Broadway initiative, which, judging by the recent road diet and influx of new businesses, we’d say is going pretty well.
