The Paseo has limited seating and is situated close to Brand Boulevard next to the Studio Movie Grill, Urartu Coffee, Octopus Japanese, Gen Korean BBQ House, and Gaucho’s Village. Shoppers and visitors to the local businesses make up the majority of the audience; performances may be experienced by children and families. The Jewel City Concert Series began in 2017 to celebrate the renovation and reopening of Glendale’s Downtown Central Library. The series is supported by the City of Glendale and the Glendale Arts and Culture Commission, with funding from the Urban Art Program. 

The Brand Summer Music Series is an outdoor concert series located on the hillside area behind the Brand Library and Art Center. Concert attendees often bring their own chairs and pic amenities and sit on the grassy hill near the performance location. Please note that alcohol is prohibited. Performances may be experienced by children and families. The Brand Summer Music Series began in 2014 and is supported by the City of Glendale and the Glendale Arts and Culture Commission, with funding from the Urban Art Program.
