John Anson Ford Amphitheatre

The John Anson Ford Amphitheatre, officially nicknamed The Ford, is a music venue in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California. The 1,200-seat outdoor amphitheatre is situated within the Cahuenga Pass within the Santa Monica Mountains, directly across the U.S. 101 freeway from its official sister venue, the Hollywood Bowl. Located in a County regional park, the facility is owned by the County of Los Angeles and operated in partnership with the Ford Theatre Foundation and the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation. Built in 1920 and named after LA County Supervisor John Anson Ford in 1976, the Ford has been operated by the Los Angeles Philharmonic since 2020.
