Lakefront Live! is a wide-ranging, multi‑genre music concert series presented by the Bath House Cultural Center. The program promotes cultural awareness, deepens our community’s appreciation of music, and celebrates the traditions and artists that shape the local Dallas music scene.
The 2026-27 Lakefront Live! concerts will take place every other Tuesday during the fall and spring seasons. All concerts are free for the public to attend. Musicians are financially compensated through the City of Dallas and must be willing to register as a City of Dallas vendor if selected. Applicants should have ties to, or represent, the local DFW music scene. Original music is preferred, though sets do not need to be entirely original, for Lakefront Live! consideration.
Performers must be willing to present a 90‑minute set with a 15‑minute intermission in our indoor‑outdoor performance space. Audiences may sit up close or picnic on the lawn while enjoying the incredible sunsets and skyline views at White Rock Lake. Doors open at 7:00 pm, and showtime is at 7:30 pm. Please note, in the event of inclement weather, some performances may be moved indoors to the Black Box Theater.
To help promote your work and reach new audiences together, we encourage applicants to maintain an active online presence. Occasional social media posts highlighting your shows, creative process, or news related to your music are perfectly acceptable. An artist or band bio and an image will be required at submission so we can begin early promotion of the series.
This will be a panel reviewed application. Lakefront Live! submissions will be evaluated by a panel consisting of Bath House Cultural Programs Coordinator, Analise Minjarez, as well as our previous concert series emcee, Ray Butler, and DJ Eternos.
