We build it together
You bring the concept and audience. We bring the space, flexibility, and setting.
We're selectively opening opportunities for brands and concepts to become part of The Courtyard — not just visitors to it.
We're building something here
The Courtyard isn't just an event venue — it's becoming a cultural address in Downtown LA. We're curating who's part of that story long-term.
Who we're looking for
Brands, concepts, and operators that align with the energy of The Courtyard. If you're building something that belongs here, we want to hear from you.
How it works
Reach out with your concept and vision. We'll explore what a long-term partnership could look like — on both our terms.
About the Space
A courtyard built for culture

Downtown LA

Formats Welcome
The Courtyard sits below street level on 334 S Main Street in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles — tucked between high-rises and history, hidden from the passing city above it.
That position is everything. When you're below the street, you're inside something. The noise of the city stays up there. The energy you build stays down here.
At 20,000 square feet, it's one of the largest open-air event canvases in DTLA. Lined with towering date palms, tiered concrete seating, and architecture that holds the space like a natural amphitheater — it was designed to host.
We're not a venue. We're a platform. The Courtyard is being reactivated by the community that already calls it home — curators, collectives, brands, and creatives who want a space that earns the energy they bring to it.
"Hidden doesn't mean hard to find. It means worth finding."
What started as underutilized space has become one of the most talked-about event locations in LA — because the people who've used it showed others what was possible.
Day parties that fill the courtyard floor. Lowrider shows that turn the plaza into a rolling gallery. Sonic markets where DJs play and vendors build culture side by side.
This is what The Courtyard is for. Come build something here.

Step through a doorway on Main Street, cross a bridge, and the city drops away: a deck with a lawn, steps down to a palm courtyard, and a loop of shops below. Tap a stop on the map to see it for real.

Know the layout
Plan your setup with the ground level in mind: one roundabout lane lined with shops, the palm courtyard opening up on the east side, the lawn deck on top of the center block, and the parking garage above the south blocks.
