About this venue
The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever is a historic cultural and concert venue located within the Hollywood Forever Cemetery complex. The former Masonic lodge retains the distinctive character of a historic building, with high ceilings, exposed wooden architectural elements and more intimate proportions than a conventional concert hall. Capacity varies according to the configuration of each event, and the venue is generally used for smaller-format programs that keep the audience relatively close to the stage.
Inside, exposed wooden beams, decorative lighting and a compact stage create a distinctive atmosphere. Depending on the program, events may use seated or other audience configurations, so the layout and level of comfort can vary from one performance to another. The combination of a historic interior and an intimate scale makes the lodge particularly well suited to concerts, talks, performances and other cultural events.
The venue is located at Santa Monica Blvd 5970, Los Angeles, United States, along Santa Monica Boulevard and within the Hollywood Forever grounds. On-site parking is arranged for selected events, although access rules and parking opening times may vary according to the program. After entering the Hollywood Forever complex, visitors should follow event signs toward the Masonic Lodge.

About the city: Los Angeles
Los Angeles, the heart of Southern California, is both a glamorous metropolis and one of the world’s most important hubs for sports and concerts. The city naturally blends the energy of major events with a laid-back California vibe, so going to a game or a show is often just the start of the night. If you’re looking for tickets and an experience that’s easy to pair with a great night out, Los Angeles offers a wide range of neighborhoods, venues, and atmospheres for every taste.
Getting around is especially convenient thanks to LA Metro services, including Metro Rail and Metro Bus, which connect key parts of the city and make it easier to reach most major arenas and stadiums. If you’re arriving by train, Los Angeles Union Station is the main hub with connections to Amtrak and the regional Metrolink, making access from the wider area straightforward. If you’re flying in, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) offers multiple ground transportation options into the city, so you can reach your accommodation and event locations without overplanning.
Before or after the event, it’s worth soaking up the city’s vibe: stroll along Hollywood Boulevard and the Walk of Fame, head up to Griffith Observatory for sweeping views, or follow the coast to Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach. For a more urban feel, Downtown LA brings museums, galleries, and a lively food scene, and a walk through different districts quickly shows how diverse Los Angeles really is. That’s its advantage: no matter the type of event, it’s easy to build a complete trip that combines great entertainment, sightseeing, and relaxed time in the city.
