Hollywood Bowl Has Free Easter Service At 11 This Morning

One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

If you're looking for a community to celebrate zombie Jesus's rise to become undead this morning, you can join 15,000 worshippers for an 11 a.m. free service at the Hollywood Bowl.

This year's service, put together by Bel Air Presbyterian Church, the Eagle Rock's Christian Assembly Church and Fellowship Monrovia, will feature a choir, an orchestra and a worship band, City News Service says.

Easter services have been taking place at the bowl every year since 1919. (The photo above is from 1938's gathering.)

Parking at the bowl is free, which means the parking lots will be insane and you should take the subway.

Happy Easter!

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
