Gloria Molina Grand Park's Sunday Sessions

"Gloria Molina Grand Park’s Sunday Sessions" returns with two free summer outdoor dance parties to celebrate the rich and global influence of house music. With a 21+ beer garden, a vibrant marketplace comprised of local artisans and small businesses, as well as art-making activities for the whole family, this year’s "Sunday Sessions" is the unmistakable destination for dancing and connection under the DTLA skyline. Picnicking is encouraged; food and beverages will be available for purchase. Cocktails may be purchased with a valid I.D. No outside alcohol permitted in the park.

DJ collective Baile World headlines the July 19, 2026, edition of "Sunday Sessions" and showcases a genre-blending lineup where global rhythms converge on the open-air dance lawn. L.A. native DJ CQUESTT founded Baile World—touted by the "Los Angeles Times" as a party movement that will “take you to another part of the world”—to create an energizing space where culture and music converge. Joining DJ CQUESTT on the turntables will be Josh Peace, Spiñorita and headlining Bronx-based duo Dos Flakos. Rooted in their Dominican heritage and New York edge, Dos Flakos—comprised of brothers Chris and Rich—is at the forefront of the Latin House and Tribal House movement, delivering diaspora-inspired edits and electrifying remixes that weave Caribbean influences from reggaeton and dancehall directly into the house music tradition.

The August 16, 2026, edition of "Sunday Sessions" celebrates the foundational Black and LGBTQIA+ roots of house music curated by L.A.-based DJ and producer Terrell Brooke of TheyHouse, a premier DJ crew highlighting the genre’s history and current pulse. The lineup features local favorites—BLKshine, Packrat and NRS LNDSY—spinning a mix of rare Chicago house, acid tracks and Deep House classics. The internationally acclaimed, New York-based duo The Illustrious Blacks headlines the afternoon. Renowned for their “Afro-Electro-Disco-Space-Punk” style and releases on Defected Records, the dynamic real-life couple (Monstah Black and Manchildblack) fuses funk, techno and disco into a high-energy performance that brings a brilliant celebration of ballroom-inspired, soulful house tracks to “the park for everyone.”
